Professional profile in brief

Independent English-speaking lawyer who speaks English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. I  have long experience representing people from the UK, Norway, the United States of America, Canada, Denmark, Ireland,  Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Argentina, Ecuador, New Zealand, Israel, Kuwait, Argelia, and Sweden. The list of countries keeps growing.

We specialise in all areas of real estate law and conveyancing, property purchases, property transactions, inheritance and employment law.

I also provide other services including assistance in starting a company in Spain, employment and company law matters, and general legal support in Spain including probate, foreign inheritances and residency permits for business people.

Affiliated with the Bar Association of Barcelona, I’ve been practising as a solicitor all over Spain for over 24 years. Surely, something I’d have to learn in all those years.

What I can offer you

Professionalism, experience, knowledge, and a friendly approach. I am here to help you. If I don’t help you, I am not the right person for the case.

I am a native Spanish and Catalan solicitor/lawyer/attorney, based in Barcelona, specialising in offering legal and consulting services to foreign individuals and companies, wherever needed, all over Spain.

Of all the services I provide, those in greatest demand concern property law, house purchase, real estate purchase, conveyancing; and immigration (NIE’s residency permits).

I feel very privileged to do the work I do. From the start, my legal vocation has sprung from the enjoyment I get from being able to help people. I enjoy what I do, I love being able to help people. Smiling is an attitude.

Importantly, I am truly independent and will represent and protect only your interests in any transaction. I strive to provide friendly but professional and meticulous service. I will keep you informed and ensure you understand what is happening and what you are signing. I know the traps to look out for and how to steer you through local legal processes safely.

We know that customer service in the US and the United Kingdom is very high, and we modestly try to match them, therefore, is not only providing the legal solution, and the knowledge but also providing a good pleasant experience, fluent communication, fast service,  keeping available, keeping calm in moments of stress, understanding the needs and fears of the clients, a good attitude, being human, good energy and a friendly smile are essential to do this job.  We are here to try to help you, it is not always possible, but we try it hard and with vocation.

Where I work

Though I’m based in Barcelona, where the core of my business is, I also travel throughout  Catalonia and Spain.

I have noticed a demand for good, experienced,  independent English-speaking lawyers /attorneys, so travelling is not an issue. I am happy and willing to provide legal services wherever they are needed, in the main towns popular with ex-pats, such as Sitges, Sant Pere de Ribes, Olivella, Castelldefels, Salou, Cambrils, Miami Platja, L’Atmella de Mar, and along the Costa Brava, Blanes, Lloret, Tossa de Mar, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Sagaró,  Palamós, Calella de Palafrugell, Begur, Rosas, Ampuria Brava, Cadaqués, Port de la Selva, Llançà, Colera, and Portbou, and also in Barcelona.

I feel honoured that many of my clients have kept me as their lawyer regardless of where they are in Spain. In recent years, that’s meant a steady stream of work and new referrals from places such as Denia, Altea, Benidorm, Ciudad Quesada, Alicante province, Mallorca, Tenerife, the provinces of Granada, Malaga and other parts of Andalusia. Most of these cases involved a house purchase but others were inheritance matters or involved much larger real estate investments.

My clients

Friendly approach, a face, a human trying to help another human; where diversity is not a challenge, but a joy.

Diversity of any kind and orientation (sexual religious, cultural, racial, multinational)  is VERY WELCOME. 

As a result, there’s an exchange, an experience of mutual learning. My clients learn from me, but I also learn every day from my clients. Part of that learning is related to the diversity of my clients and makes my job much more interesting.

Why use an English-speaking lawyer in Spain?

Whilst many Spanish Abogados speak good English – is it good enough to explain complex issues of Spanish Law to you in terms that you understand? Probably not. Another reason for using an English-speaking lawyer in Spain.

As all legal practitioners are keenly aware, communicating effectively with your client is central to good legal practice. Being aware of your client’s communication needs, and how you can respond to these, is a prerequisite for a productive lawyer-client relationship. For that reason, using an English-speaking lawyer in Spain allows for clear and direct communication between both parties, and saves time, money, and misunderstandings!

Where do I work?

My business is based in Barcelona, which serves as the central point for my work. However, I frequently travel across Catalonia and Spain to meet the needs of my clients.

I have observed a significant need for experienced, independent English-speaking lawyers, which makes travelling a natural part of my practice. I am pleased to offer legal services in various locations popular with the expatriate community, including Sitges, Sant Pere de Ribes, Olivella, Castelldefels, Salou, Cambrils, Miami Platja, L’Atmella de Mar, the Costa Brava (Blanes, Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Sagaró, Palamós, Calella de Palafrugell, Begur, Rosas, Ampuria Brava, Cadaqués, Port de la Selva, Llançà, Colera, and Portbou), and, of course, Barcelona.

I am grateful that many of my clients have continued to work with me even after relocating to different parts of Spain. Over the past few years, this has resulted in consistent work and new referrals from areas such as Denia, Altea, Benidorm, Ciudad Quesada, Alicante province, Mallorca, Tenerife, and the provinces of Granada and Malaga, among other parts of Andalusia. While many of these cases have involved property purchases, I have also handled inheritance matters and significant real estate investments.

Friendly approach, a face, a human trying to help another human, where diversity is not a challenge, but a joy.

In my practice, I prioritise a friendly and approachable manner, focusing on providing human support where diversity is embraced and celebrated. I warmly welcome clients of all backgrounds, orientations (sexual, religious), cultures, races, and nationalities. Diversity is VERY WELCOME.

I find great value in the mutual exchange and learning that occurs with my clients. While I provide legal guidance, I also gain valuable insights from the diverse experiences and perspectives of those I work with, which enriches my professional life.

Why use an English-speaking lawyer in Spain?

While many Spanish lawyers have a good command of English, it’s worth considering whether that proficiency is sufficient for explaining intricate aspects of Spanish Law in a way that’s easily understandable. It’s often the case that it might not be. This is a key reason to consider engaging an English-speaking lawyer in Spain.
 
As those in the legal field recognize, effective communication with clients is fundamental to providing quality legal services. Understanding your client’s communication preferences and adapting your approach accordingly is essential for a successful lawyer-client relationship. Therefore, working with an English-speaking lawyer in Spain ensures clear and direct communication, ultimately saving time, costs, and preventing potential misunderstandings.
