When we step in
Common situations
01
An authority has issued an act that could affect your liberty, assets, operations or rights, and there is a deadline to react.
02
A court or administrative ruling needs reviewing to determine whether constitutional review is available.
03
The matter calls for a stay, a challenge to a ruling, or monitoring compliance with an amparo judgment.
What it covers
Scope of service
Analysis of admissibility, deadlines, exhaustion of remedies and procedural strategy
Preparing and filing an indirect or direct amparo claim, as appropriate
Requesting, defending and monitoring the stay where legally available
Appeals, interlocutory motions, compliance and follow-up through to the end of the stage we are engaged for
A serious constitutional defence starts by pinning down exactly what can be challenged, by which route and to what end.
How we work
From first reading to compliance
01
Review of the act, the file and the notification
First we check what act can be challenged, the notification date, the prior route and any grounds of inadmissibility. If amparo is not the right route, we say so from the start.
02
Claim and stay
The stay is argued as part of the case strategy, with attention to its requirements, its effects and any guarantees it may require.
03
Follow-up, appeals and compliance
We handle the interlocutory matters and appeals that arise, as well as compliance with judgments, within the agreed scope.
Frequently asked questions
What to review first
How long do I have to file for amparo?
The deadline depends on the type of act and the subject matter. The Amparo Law sets a general rule and several exceptions, so it is essential to review the ruling and the date its notification took effect before counting the days.
Does filing for amparo automatically stop the act?
No. The stay has its own rules, and whether it is granted depends on the challenged act, the subject matter, the complainant's interest and other legal requirements. That is why it must be analysed from the start of the case.
Can you step in if another firm handled the earlier stages?
Yes. We can review the file and take on a later stage, provided there is enough time to study the background, identify the risks and set a responsible strategy.
