01 — The firm

When a legal matter keeps you up at night

You have received a lawsuit. You have conflicts with another partner. The developer is not responding to the moisture problems. The buyer of the apartment has backed out and refuses to return the earnest money. Whatever your matter is, what you have now is uncertainty: you don’t know what real chances it has, how long it will take to solve the problem, or how much it might cost.

This uncertainty is common among clients who come to our firm. The first thing we do is put a name and numbers to it: what the law says, what the case law says, what evidence we have, what evidence we lack, and what options you really have on the table.

We litigate well, but we negotiate better. Before any proceeding, we conduct a prior legal analysis. In writing. Without sugar-coating it.

Trigo Buide Attorneys — Manifesto
02 — Working method

What we do for you before recommending you go to trial

Before making any recommendations about the steps to follow, we conduct a preliminary legal analysis. In writing. Without sugar-coating it. If the best option for you is to negotiate, we will recommend it — even if it means less profitability for us. We know that a good agreement reached in time provides more peace of mind than three years of litigation.

  • We study the case thoroughly. Facts, documentation, case law, deadlines.
  • We provide you with a written report on strengths and weaknesses.
  • We recommend the most convenient path for you, not the one that bills us the most.

Why clients choose us

Real honesty

If your case is not viable, we tell you before accepting it. We don’t sell litigation if the claim has no merit.

Legal rigor

We apply precise terminology, regulations and case law. No sugar-coating to sound more friendly.

Direct access

We personally handle every call and every email. You won’t speak with a junior who doesn’t know your case.

Our procedural policy
10 — The Office

A space for important conversations

Good lighting, silence and discretion. An office designed to focus ideas, receive clients calmly and sustain conversations that deserve time.

11 — Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

If it’s civil, commercial, or real estate, it fits. Send us a summary via WhatsApp and we’ll tell you within 24 hours.

Because litigation always generates costs, time, and uncertainty. And because arbitrary rulings in first instance exist, regardless of how well-founded your case may be. If a well-structured negotiation resolves it, that’s probably what serves you best.

We tell you in writing. We don’t accept cases to collect fees without action, nor to push forward lawsuits without merit.

With both. What we evaluate is the substance of the matter, not whether it’s an individual or legal entity.

Write to us via WhatsApp or email. We handle matters personally and respond the same day.
