OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our logo illustrates our vision of the profession: judicial and extrajudicial strategy is like a game of chess. Defending our clients' essential interests is like making a castling move in chess, where the rook protects the king.

At LITIS, every case is treated with the same seriousness, regardless of its importance. We strive to guide our clients through the legal maze by seeking effective solutions while limiting the emotional and financial impact. Aware of the risks and costs associated with litigation, we favor amicable solutions whenever possible. Often, a simple letter or preliminary meeting is enough to resolve a dispute without resorting to the courts.
