LEGAL ADVICE/SOLICITORS
Sometimes I think people forget (because we do so much) that we also provide legal advice via our professional solicitor and barrister.
We have 12 years of experience of the process of buying and selling houses in Spain, so please contact us also if you need help with this service.
The Spanish Legal system works very differently from that which most people are used to and matters that could be easily resolved in your own country become bewildering when in another, due to differences in the law or in the language.
Whether you need assistance in applying for building permissions for house renovations or require representation to look over contracts, we are here for you.
Via our solicitor, we cover diverse legal services and provide assistance with all aspects of work that may be required from Spanish Solicitors.
PROPERTY LITIGATION
Unfortunately there are people who have purchased off-plan properties and there may have been a breach of contract on the part of the developer, as the property has not been built as planned (as they were sold without the required building licences) or there has been a breach of contract by the developer not building the property within the time frame originally agreed. Alternatively, the developer has not built the property to the standard originally promised in the contract (not in accordance with the building plans).
If the developer may have been in breach of contract, you have the right to make a legal claim. If you would like to request our legal assistance and discuss the case, please advise us.
TENANT PROBLEMS IN A SPANISH PROPERTY
Having a tenant in a property (either residential or commercial) does not always go smoothly and if you are having problems and require help with a non-paying tenant or one that is causing disruption or damage and would like to request our legal assistance to discuss tenant eviction, please let us know.
EMPLOYMENT
Worried about Employment Spain? Whether it is an employment law dismissal case or advice on employment issues regarding staff in your company, you may at times need an employment lawyer in Spain.
FAMILY
Are you dealing with Separation agreements, how to get a divorce in Spain or child custody arrangements? We have helped sensitively with many cases of divorce in Spain, separation, child custody, maintenance arrangements etc. If you need a divorce lawyer or a family lawyer or would like our assistance with another matter, please contact us.
INHERITANCE
Spanish probate services. We are able to deal with inheritance in Spain and Spanish probate, both explaining to you the inheritance tax payable on your estate at the present time and, managing the probate process for your heirs after your death. Whether or not a Spanish Will has been made, we prepare all the Spanish documentation required and handle the tax payable.
GENERAL LITIGATION
There are times that you may wish to bring a legal action against a person or company that you believe has caused you damage or loss as a result of their actions.
If you need a business lawyer in Spain or a dispute lawyer, we are able to assist with negotiating between you in order to endeavour to try to resolve the dispute and if this is not possible, to bring it to Court.
PERSONAL INJURY
With a personal injury claim, we will initially advise on the likelihood of successfully pursuing the claim and the possible compensation that you may recover and then assist you throughout the process.
CRIMINAL LAW
We have assisted with a variety of criminal cases including domestic violence, fraud, traffic accidents, drink driving defence and assaults.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Certain legal situations are dealt with by government-appointed boards or tribunals, rather than by courts of law. “Administrative Law” refers to the area of law which relates to boards and tribunals, their activities, and the hearings before such bodies.
Among the matters dealt with by such administrative bodies are land use, land development, labour relations, landlord and tenant rights, and income and property taxes.
CIVIL LAW
The field of civil litigation relates to all kinds of disputes, from contractual to personal injuries. Matters relating to social security, pensions, creditors rights, builders’ liens, debt collection and wrongful dismissal also fall within civil litigation.
TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS AND PATENTS We know ourselves how serious (and downright annoying) it is when another business or person attempts to copy and use your trademark or logo. Intellectual property and trademarks used to differentiate a service or product are important. Proper searching and registration of trademarks, copyright and patent protection are important to protect your property and prevent future patent and copyright problems.
If you need a Spanish intellectual property lawyer or patent solicitor in Spain or require our assistance with any of the above matters please contact Amanda on enquiries@spanishsolutions.net and she will arrange an appointment with our solicitor.
