Expert Spanish Law Services for UK Clients

Your Trusted English-Spanish Legal Team

We don’t just translate documents; we interpret the law, explaining complex Spanish legal concepts in plain English so you can make informed decisions with confidence. From tax planning to courtroom litigation, we are your dedicated partners in navigating the Spanish legal landscape.

Spanish Tax Planning & Advice

We offer comprehensive tax planning services to optimize your financial position. We advise on the implications of becoming a tax resident, wealth tax liabilities, and capital gains tax on property sales. Crucially, we help navigate the Double Taxation Treaty between the UK and Spain to ensure you are not taxed twice on the same income. We handle everything from filing annual non-resident tax returns (Modelo 210) to complex inheritance tax planning.

Spanish Civil Litigation & Property Disputes

Spanish civil procedures differ significantly from those in the UK, often relying heavily on written submissions rather than oral arguments. Our team represents UK clients in all Spanish courts for a wide range of civil matters. We handle property disputes, including boundary issues, illegal builds, and conflicts with the community of owners. We also manage breach of contract claims, debt recovery, and consumer rights issues. 

Personal Injury Claims in Spain

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, a workplace incident, or a slip and fall in a public place while in Spain, you may be entitled to compensation. Spanish law uses a specific scale (the “Baremo”) to calculate damages, which is quite different from UK assessments. We guide you through the claims process, gathering medical evidence and negotiating with insurers to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical costs, and any loss of earnings.

Spanish Criminal Law Matters

Finding yourself on the wrong side of the law in a foreign country is a terrifying experience. If you or a family member has been arrested or charged with a crime in Spain, immediate legal representation is vital. The initial 72 hours after an arrest are critical. We provide urgent assistance at police stations and courts, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you understand the charges against you. We handle cases ranging from minor offenses to serious criminal charges, providing a bilingual defense strategy that navigates the intricacies of the Spanish penal system.

Certified Legal Translation Services

Spanish bureaucracy is notorious for its paperwork, and almost every official procedure requires documents to be in Spanish. However, simple translations are rarely accepted for legal purposes. You often need “Sworn Translations” (Traducción Jurada) certified by a translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We provide fast, accurate, and legally recognized translations of birth certificates, marriage certificates, wills, court orders, and property deeds.
