María-José, Lawyer in Murcia ...
Maria-Jose read Law at the University of Alicante, and in 2004 became a member of The Law Society of Murcia. In 2005 she established her own law firm with offices in the centre of Murcia and maintains offices both there and in Valencia. Maria-Jose acts as Secretary of the Civil Section in the Law Society of Murcia and is a leading member of the legal community. She assists clients with property acquisitions and disposals as well as a full range of civil law matters such as inheritances and family law matters. She speaks English fluently.
I recently used Maria-José to act as my lawyer re selling my house in Spain. Based in another country, I granted Maria power of attorney to complete what turned out to be a more complicated sale than expected. Maria went above and beyond to complete the sale, always keeping me informed, explaining everything in English. Very respectful and patient at all times. I will be instructing Maria again when I need her. Highly recommend!

Looking for reliable Lawyers in Spain?

Looking for reliable lawyers in Spain? If you need legal assistance, make sure to consult with skilled Spanish lawyers with extensive knowledge of the legal frameworks and regulations that govern life and business in Spain. Our English-speaking lawyers are available to assist across a wide-range of legal fields across the whole country.

Property and Immigration Matters

For those moving to Spain from abroad, dealing with Spanish authorities can seem daunting without the right legal backing. Obtaining a residence permit is now a requirement for many English-speakers, especially following Brexit. Ensuring that you have all the documentation in place to travel to and from Spain is a necessity to provide peace of mind. Our lawyers will make sure that acquiring a property and obtaining legal residence is seamless and stress-free.

Family and Criminal Law

Whether you're facing issues related to family law or need advice on criminal law matters, the support of a law firm versed in these areas can make a significant difference. Spanish courts deal with family and criminal law cases with adherence to local practices, which can be quite different from what one might expect in their own country. Having an English-speaking lawyer who is expert in that field is a huge benefit to anyone having to deal with these emotive areas of law. 

Business and Corporate Law

For expat entrepreneurs, understanding business and corporate law, including company formation and tax planning, is key. Spanish lawyers offer comprehensive services to ensure that starting and running your business goes as smoothly as possible. If you are a foreign person looking to establish a presence, navigating the requirements for company formation under Spanish law can be simplified with professional guidance from experienced lawyers in Spain.

Inheritance and Tax Law

Often, lawyers in Spain are called upon to assist with those who have lost family members and need to manage their estate in a timely and cost-effective manner. Unfortunately, there can be a tendency to avoid dealing with these complex issues due to a lack of understanding and fear of the unknown. 

However, failing to deal with matters such as inheritance and tax appropriately can lead to fines and greater expense than would ever be expected, which is why our lawyers will take the time to explain the processes that need to be completed and will be on hand to help throughout. 

The Role of English-Speaking Lawyers in Spain

For English-speaking expats or businesses, finding English-speaking lawyers in Spain can alleviate many of the challenges associated with language barriers. These lawyers provide legal assistance in a language you're comfortable with, ensuring that you fully understand every aspect of your legal matter.

Choosing the Right Law Firm

When selecting a law firm in Spain, you should consider their areas of expertise and their track record. Firms with extensive experience in handling similar legal matters to yours are often able to act in your best interests with a high degree of efficacy. The Spanish Bar Associations around Spain can also be a resource for verifying the credentials and standing of law firms and legal professionals, and you will find links to the regulatory bodies for all of our lawyers in their professional bio's.
