### WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED

The ordinary procedure is long and expensive, which is why the important decision is taken before it starts: what is claimed, on what evidence and with what prospects. What is not raised in the claim cannot be raised later.

What it includes: merits review with an assessment of risk and costs exposure; claim or defence, pre-trial hearing and trial; coordination of expert and witness evidence. What it does not include: it does not include expert fees, court fees or disbursements, which are provisioned separately and itemised before we start.

#### DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED

- All the contractual documentation in the matter.
- Technical or accounting reports if any.
- Communications and demands between the parties.

#### INDICATIVE TIMING

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 10 and 25 working days.

An ordinary procedure is usually measured in more than a year to first-instance judgment, depending on the district.

See [the pricing page](https://iberfacil.es/en/pricing) for how we charge this kind of matter.

3. **PLEADINGS AND EVIDENCE** We draft the claim or the defence, prepare the preliminary hearing and coordinate experts and witnesses for the trial.
4. **HEARING AND JUDGMENT** We stand with you at the trial and, with the judgment, explain costs, enforcement and whether an appeal is advisable.

- All the contractual documentation in the matter
