Lawyer in Spain
The commercial and civil codes in Spain are complex and require a Spanish lawyer with a deep knowledge of both if you want to achieve your goals in Spain. If Spanish is not your native language, it may be harder to work with a lawyer and understand the content of a contract. At Strong Abogados, we only hire lawyers fluent in English. Our lawyers in Spain are specialists in real estate, immigration, business law, company formation, and intellectual property. We also partner with lawyers throughout Spain to provide you with service in English wherever you need it.
Strong Abogados provides most legal services, such as:
- Property transactions: We perform all the background checks on the property, and manage relations with the notary and broker/seller to ensure the real estate purchase goes smoothly.
- Immigration: Step-by-step assistance to obtain a residence permit for you or your family from our in-house immigration lawyers.
- e-Commerce: We review your websites and contracts to make sure they conform with Spanish regulations.
- Contracts: We cover all your needs, from drafting standard contracts to complex transactions.
- Intellectual property: We register your trademarks, brand names, and patents in Spain.
- Labour lawyer: We highly recommend hiring a labour lawyer for advice as soon as you, as employee or employer, enters into a conflict regarding a firing.
- Inheritance: We register the death, process the will, negotiate the proper division of assets, and register the new ownership of properties in Spain.
- Wills: We draft your Spanish will to ensure your properties in Spain will be transferred according to your wishes.
- Litigation: We offer a comprehensive business litigation and dispute resolution service that covers the main areas of commercial and civil law, always looking for the solution that best suits the client's interests.
- Debt collection: With our debt collection service, we charge our fees in proportion to the amount actually recovered.
We do not handle issues of family law or criminal law.

How do I verify that someone is a lawyer in Spain?
In order to offer services as a lawyer, the person must have a law degree, a master's degree in law (escuela práctica jurídica), and be registered in one of the many city-based Bar Associations (Ilustre Colegios de Abogados) throughout Spain. Each member of a Bar Association has a number (número de colegiado). To know if a lawyer is registered in a Bar Association, go to abogacia.es and type in the lawyer's name or number.
You can call up the Bar Association to ask about any complaints that have been lodged against that person. A lawyer is required to keep all information about their clients confidential, and is bound by the Codigo Deontológico.
You can find out more about a lawyer by contacting the Bar Association where they are registered. For example, the Bar Association of Barcelona is ICAB. You can find the contact information for the lawyer, as well as if the lawyer is active, has claims against them, and is in good standing.
