Choosing your legal representative in Spain can be complex. You want some one that speaks your language and understands your culture but also you need some one who can work effectively in the Spanish legal framework. To help you make your choice, consider these questions:<\/p>\n
Q. Does your lawyer speak your language? Do they understand the differences in the UK and Spanish legal systems?<\/b><\/p>\n
The best choice is a firm where there are English and Spanish lawyers working together. Also, ask for evidence of UK training if a Spanish lawyer says they are a solicitor.<\/p>\n
Q. Has the firm been established for a long time? Are they a respected and credible law firm?<\/b><\/p>\n
There are new firms springing up all the time, but very few can boast a history dating back over a quarter of a century. Look for an established firm, which is well respected by the community, the judiciary and the tax authorities.<\/p>\n
Q. Does the law firm have specialists?<\/b><\/p>\n
Law is a highly complex field; for example Wills and Probate is very different to Family Law or Property Law. Make sure you have an expert looking after you.<\/p>\n
