When abroad, you should never undertake any medical, accountancy or legal matters in any language other than your own unless you are completely fluent in the language of the country concerned. This may sound like a truism – but it is a rule that only fools ever transgress!
Certainly, Spanish law is very different from that of any other country and you cannot come to Spain thinking that what happens in your own country is also true for what occurs in Spain. This is as true for Spanish property law as it is for Spanish inheritance tax provisions, Spanish contract law, the litigation process, criminal law in Spain and so on.
It is equally true to say that the competence of Spanish lawyers also varies considerably. Nowhere is this better illustrated than within the Spanish property sector where excellent legal practice has, all too often, competed against incompetence and inefficiency.
So, it is essential not just to have a lawyer in Spain who is fluent in English but also a Spanish lawyer who is sound and who will work for you – and you alone.
Our aim here is to provide you with English speaking lawyers in Spain who can speak English fluently and who have been recommended to us as lawyers in Spain who will provide you with a top quality service.
Of course, we cannot guarantee that the Spanish lawyers we recommend here are perfect! That would be absurd. However, what we can say is that all have been highly recommended to us.
Furthermore, the information provided here about Spanish lawyers will provide you with the basic knowledge of Spanish law that you require if you are going to live, work or buy property in Spain.
