Frequently asked questions

How long does a court case take?
It varies greatly with the type of action and the court. A civil action can take from several months to a few years. Whenever possible we use faster routes — justices of the peace, payment orders, special procedures — or negotiate a settlement.
I am owed money and have documents proving it. What is the fastest route?
For documented debts, the payment order (injunção) is often the fastest: without opposition, you obtain an enforceable title within weeks, followed immediately by seizure of the debtor's assets.
What is an interim injunction (providência cautelar)?
An urgent procedure to protect a right before the final decision — for example, halting construction works, freezing a debtor's assets or preventing asset dissipation. It is decided in weeks, not years.
