An expropriation occurs when the Public Administration or a beneficiary institution forcibly takes private property for a purpose deemed to be in the public interest, upon prior payment of compensation.
At our firm we take charge of the guidance and defence of the victims during the entire duration of the expropriation file, even before the courts of justice, until we are happy that the victims’ rights have been satisfied and they receive compensation for damages.
