In its 20 years of existence, Aranis & Espinosa has vast experience in highly complex litigation, arbitration and mediation.

Our practice includes disputes in different areas of law, both before arbitration tribunals and ordinary courts, in civil, commercial, family, labor, concessions, tax and administrative law matters.

Family Law is a very sensitive area of practice, not only because of the complexity of the matters that are addressed, but also because of the importance of knowing the law involved and being able to establish strategies that imply the least economic and emotional damage in family restructurings. It is with this perspective that the family conflicts that come to our offices are approached, with a direct and sincere advice, which seeks to privilege agreements over the excessive judicialization of such delicate matters.

In the same way, the assistance in inheritance matters is focused on the protection of assets and the protection of emotional bonds, which are often interfered by disagreements that can be avoided. To this end, our firm deals with such matters either preventively, by means of a good inheritance planning, as well as by representing heirs in partition trials, besides acting as partition judges, with many years of experience in such jurisdictional function.
