What is a case in litigation? What exactly is 'litigation'? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

Litigation is a formal legal process that arises when there is a dispute or disagreement between two or more parties that cannot be resolved amicably. <\/span><\/p>

It involves bringing the dispute before a court or competent authority so that, through the application of the law, a resolution is issued to end the conflict. It can cover various matters such as civil, commercial, administrative, among others. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is the difference between a trial and litigation? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many clients confuse these terms, but the key lies in their scope:<\/span><\/p>

  • Litigation:<\/b> is the complete legal conflict (negotiations, lawsuits, trials, settlements).<\/span><\/li>
  • Trial: <\/b>is just one stage of litigation, where a judge resolves the dispute in court.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    At REG Abogados, we not only support you during the trial but throughout the entire litigation process to maximize your opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    How long does a litigation case last? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The resolution time for litigation is variable and depends on multiple factors, such as the complexity of the case, the courts’ workload, the specific legal matter, and the parties’ willingness to negotiate. Some cases can be resolved in months, while others may extend for several years. <\/span><\/p>

    For example:<\/span><\/p>

    • Commercial litigation: 6 months to 2 years (can be shortened with settlements).<\/span><\/li>
    • Amparo proceedings: 3 to 12 months.<\/span><\/li>
    • Civil proceedings: 4 months to 3 years.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      At REG Abogados, we are committed to transparently informing you about estimated timelines and working diligently to seek the most efficient and rapid resolution possible, always protecting your interests.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

          Yes, it is possible to sue a government authority if you believe that an act or omission on their part has illegally affected your rights or interests. <\/span><\/p>

          This action is generally processed through administrative litigation, typically before the Administrative Justice Courts, or through Amparo proceedings before the Federal Judiciary. <\/span><\/p>

          At REG Abogados, we have extensive experience representing our clients in these types of disputes to ensure the legality of government actions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
