In summary, it can be said that this Office was set up as a result of the desire to find solutions for individuals and companies, who were the victims of injustice brought on by the greater force of the more powerful, as characterized by the power of capital – in other words money or inaccessible information – as well as the power of the state itself. The ideas defended by this Office aim to show the unequivocal association of economic and judicial facts, which it believes to be inseparable. The latter are only felt when the negotiation process does not fully satisfy the parties, this is: a balance has not been found, in the way that it should have been. The concepts of balance, and justice, can be expressly seen in the company name: consultancy comes before advocacy. This also means a preference for negotiated solutions at the personal level – without any formalities and, in the event that no solution can be found, falling back on the formal-administrative approach. In other words, first attempting conciliation, before making a legal demand, which is the third and final alternative to be chosen. Why? To obey the dictates of practicality and to lighten the load on the Legal system, as well as to reduce costs for customers. Nevertheless, let no-one think that the Office’s position is one that shows fear of "Fighting for Rights"! To the contrary, it is very much a case of using common sense. It is also worth making clear that all the partners and associates are unquestioning admirers and disciples of Rudolf Von Ihering. It is also worth adding that the methods adopted by the Office and its court cases, in its fight for non-conciliated rights, have originally been tested by the partners and associates themselves, or their companies. This means that the Office started off from a holistic position and the fundamental theorems of the Legal, Economic and Administrative Sciences carrying out experiments that did not jeopardize third parties, to later expand and provide services to the market itself. The Office’s first and only objective is to fully satisfy its customers. If it has, for this reason, grown and is currently expanding rapidly, it must be indelibly recorded that its success was and will always be that of the customer. Finally, the Office honors and declares its adhesion to the constitutional principles of due legal process, full defense and the adversary system, amongst others, registering that with and through these principles, it will always accept taking on causes that it considers to be fair, within the law, jurisprudence, customs, and general legal or doctrinal principles, even if this results in supporting a financial institution, an act of State or a supposed offence. For the Office, it is absolutely essential that the right, or its opposite, exists, and that the customer meets its requirements: the acceptance of consultancy measures (prevention, conciliation, mediation, etc.), when necessary, which are always examined before starting up legal advocacy itself. |
