Civil Law
Civil liability, contractual obligations, disputes between individuals, debt recovery, neighbour disputes: the firm supports you in defending your rights and enforcing your commitments.
Asserting your rights in everyday civil matters
Civil law governs most legal relationships between persons: contracts, liability, obligations, property, neighbour relations, debts. Every situation calls for a precise reading of the commitments made and the applicable rule.
Cabinet Bassour & Abaragh supports individuals and professionals in the resolution of civil disputes, whether concerning the performance of a contract, a claim for compensation, the recovery of a debt or a neighbour dispute. Where possible, our approach favours amicable resolution and the preventive protection of commitments.
When amicable settlement is not feasible or does not succeed, we initiate the appropriate proceedings before the competent civil courts, in line with the documents in the case file and the client’s objective.
