Professional English-speaking lawyers across Spain helping Americans, Canadians, and international clients with property purchases, residency visas, tax, wills, inheritance and business matters. We work in English from your first call to final completion — no translation guesswork.
Spanish legal procedures — buying a vacation home, applying for a residency visa, dealing with tax on a property purchase, settling a Spanish inheritance — all run on Spanish-language documents and Spanish administrative processes. For US and Canadian clients, the cost of a misunderstanding is often substantial: an unfiled tax return, a poorly translated contract, a residency application refused.
Working with an English-speaking lawyer in Spain means you understand every document you sign, every step of every process, and every option open to you. Our team works in English from your first email to your final completion. Every contract, every email, every legal explanation is in clear plain English.
Spanish property purchase is fundamentally different from US or Canadian closing. We handle conveyancing, due diligence, NIE applications, notary completion and Land Registry registration.
US and Canadian citizens are non-EU and require a visa to live in Spain. We handle the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, family reunification and residency renewals.
The US-Spain tax treaty, FATCA reporting, Modelo 720, IRS coordination — we work with cross-border tax specialists to manage your dual obligations. The Spanish tax framework for expats matters whether you are still a US tax resident or transitioning.
If you own US/Canadian assets and Spanish assets, you need coordinated estate planning. A Spanish will alongside your US will avoids cross-border probate complexity.
If a US/Canadian parent left Spanish property, you need Spanish inheritance counsel. We handle Spanish inheritance tax filings, Land Registry transfer and coordination with your home-state attorney.
US attorneys are not licensed to practice Spanish law. Most international legal matters with Spain require BOTH a US/Canadian attorney (for your home-country side) AND a Spanish-licensed lawyer (for the Spanish side). We are the Spanish side.
Where helpful, we coordinate directly with your US attorney, CPA or estate planner. You introduce us, we work in parallel, and you get joined-up advice without playing telephone.
Most clients never travel to Spain to engage us. We work over secure video, document portals and WhatsApp. Time zones are managed — we hold appointments at US/Canadian-friendly hours.
You receive a written scope and fee structure in English before any work begins. For standard processes like conveyancing or visa applications, fees are fixed — no surprise bills.
Spanish-language contracts, official forms, notary appointments, Land Registry filings, tax submissions — we handle. You get English summaries of every key document.
Most international matters become long-term relationships. Annual tax filings, residency renewals, inheritance planning, property sales — we are your continuing Spanish legal counsel.
