We defend the permitting decision against those who challenge it.
We represent urban curators (curadores urbanos), permit holders, and builders in proceedings where the validity of a building permit or land development permit is at issue (permit matters before urban curator's offices, or curadurías urbanas), and we handle the dispute from the administrative appeals through to the court proceedings.
