ADVICE TO LAWYERS

A proportion of our work comes as instructions from lawyers in the UK , Spain and other jurisdictions. The international nature of the firm means we are used to providing reliable, comprehensive advice on Spanish law to English lawyers. Where possible we try to draw attention to the differences between the Spanish civil law system and the common law system.

The areas where we receive the most frequent instructions from lawyers are:

• Conflict of laws & jurisdiction disputes;
• Family matters – when one of the parties lives in Spain or there matrimonial assets here;
• Inheritance - Estates containing Spanish assets or when Spanish domicile applies;
• Personal injury claims – advice on liability and quantum under Spanish law;
• Enforcement of foreign judgments
