Legal Services Spain

We cover any type of legal claim that may arise in a Spanish territory, including the Canary and Balearic Islands. 

Whether residing in Spain as owner of one or more properties, or simply visiting or on vacation, you may find yourself in a situation that requires exercising your legal rights, and subsequent claim according to the corresponding law. 

Our Law Firm can advise you on any legal matter, from civil, criminal, commercial and administrative procedures, to international matters involving several countries and jurisdictions. We specialise in international clients, both individuals and corporations. 

Timeshare contracts, very popular in Spain and in other countries, have traditionally been the subject of controversy due to the lack of transparency regarding the content of the contracts and the rights that consumers are able to exercise; also, they tend to be linked to aggressive sales techniques and there are dubious legalities carried out by some “Timeshare” companies. 

The biggest problem our clients face is being tied to contracts for an indefinite duration or more than 50 years, which forces them and their families to continue paying maintenance fees for a long time; and then also despite paying these fees, not being able to enjoy the Resort or the purchased weeks, because they are under the "floating weeks" system, and they cannot choose the period of the year with their families to travel to Spain, because the high occupancy of these Resorts prevents it (for example in summer, children's school holidays, Christmas, Easter, etc.). In addition, Timeshare companies were obliged by law not to receive money from clients during the withdrawal or termination period of the contract (14 days and 3 months respectively), and practically none of the resorts complied with this point. 

Following a decision from the Spanish Supreme Court in 2015, all contracts that are in any of the three situations mentioned above (only one of them would suffice), can be declared null and void (cancelled as though it had never existed), the clients that we represent can therefore claim the full amount paid (discounting the years for “consumed stays”) and if they paid that amount of the contract (which is the majority of cases) during the first 3 months, they can also claim double of what they originally paid, because under regulations in Spain, it is considered a civil penalty (as evolved from the European Directives). 

We have extensive experience for this legal product, acting on behalf of thousands of clients. 

Our Firm has obtained extensive experience over the years, in legal claims against Promoters and Construction companies and any other Agent involved in the Construction Process (Architects, Technicians, Insurers, etc.) who have committed any type of negligence affecting the buyer/consumer (be it an individual or a community of owners); fundamentally related to construction defects, snags, incidents of all kinds, and hidden defects; or for having built without the appropriate licenses or appropriate administrative permits, directly affecting our clients who have invested their life savings in a property, and who in no way deserve to be treated like this by the Construction Agents involved in building your home. 

We obtain large compensations against solvent Promoters / Builders, as well as against other Professionals and their Insurers who have intervened in the Construction that has affected our clients. Included in the amounts that we obtain, are both the value of repair for the defects, the Moral Damage (stress that buyers suffer from not having their home in good condition), and the corresponding legal interests. 

We ‘re supported by excellent external collaborators such as Architects, Engineers, and Experts in general, who prepare objective and professional reports, to be able to accredit construction defects, and obtain compensation and indemnities that are adjusted to the Law, for our clients represented in the Courts. 

These claims often involve not only the Promoters and Builders, but also their Insurance Companies. 

We have successfully represented a large number of communities of owners, as well as private clients with the option of "no win no fee", that is to say that our clients do not have to pay the legal fees in advance, given they have already had enough with the constructive problems they have suffered. 

Unfortunately, traffic incidents and accidents are frequent – far more common than we would like to see. 

Faced with the physical and psychological damage that only medical and hospital treatment can resolve, as Lawyers we advise those affected by any accident, on how to obtain the best financial compensation against Insurers and opposing drivers. 

We advise that no matter how slight the mishap or injury may seem after a traffic incident, that you visit a Medical Centre or Hospital as quickly as possible. 

Undoubtedly one of the Firm's specialties, focused mainly on Real Estate Law. We have extensive experience in directing accusations against Promoters / Builders / Realtors / Intermediaries / Investors, etc. for alleged crimes of Real Estate Fraud, Concealment of Assets, etc. 

Similarly, within the criminal environment, we defend the interests of business owners/entrepreneurs who are caught up in fraudulent situations caused by other companies, third parties, partners, etc., all with economic and criminal significance.
