Our law firm is committed to a high service standard and leverages decades of experience to combine traditional legal counselling with innovative methods. We understand that each case requires a personalized approach within its distinct context and believe that the multicultural background of our clients, together with a continuously changing and expanding Spanish legal system, require a high degree of topicality.

We have extensive experience in mediating legal intersections between the German and Spanish legal systems and assist UK nationals in meeting their legal obligations in Spain post Brexit. Continuously consulting updated government guidance on sanctions and other legal directives, we offer our Russian-speaking clients reliable legal support in real estate related transactions.
