Civil Law

It is the law of everyday life: that branch of the legal system that concerns relationships between private individuals. Through its rules, the personal and property relationships that each of us enters into every day are regulated: family, work, contracts, property, the sphere of liability.

One encounters civil law when signing a contract, buying a house, inheriting an asset, suffering damage, or when in dispute with a neighbour. Thus, suppose one has rented out an apartment and the tenant has stopped paying rent, or, conversely, the property owner has refused to carry out maintenance work that the law requires them to perform. Consider also the situation where, after purchasing a used car, perhaps convinced of having got a good deal, one discovers that the seller had instead concealed defects that severely limit its use.

Civil law does not only concern disputes and conflicts; it also accompanies the joyful episodes of life, the positive moments of planning and building: for example, two people who have lived together for years and wish to protect their union and mutual rights, the conclusion of a partnership agreement for the launch of a new business venture, a donation to a loved one.

In any event, obtaining justice also means obtaining compensation for the damage suffered as a result of another’s wrongful conduct. Economic damage can arise from many different situations: a cancelled trip never refunded, a contractor who fails to carry out the commissioned work correctly, the purchase of a defective product, a road accident. The law recognises the citizen’s right to be compensated not only for economic losses (pecuniary damages) but also for personal inconvenience and consequences (non-pecuniary damages).

In all these cases, legal assistance can make the difference: understanding whether you have a right to something, and how to obtain it in concrete terms. Because civil justice is not only made up of major cases, but also — and above all — of everyday protections that safeguard your time, your work and your money.
