We execute a multi-layered legal, registry, and urban planning Due Diligence process before any contracts are signed or funds are transferred. Our team verifies that the property is completely free of liens, that the ownership title is undisputable, and that it strictly complies with local municipal codes, including building and first-occupancy licenses (licencia de primera ocupación). This comprehensive audit completely insulates international buyers from hidden liabilities, prior debts, or urban zoning complications in high-end markets like Madrid, Barcelona, or the Costa del Sol.

  • Golden Visa (Investor Visa): Designed for non-EU citizens who make a real estate investment in Spain of at least €500,000 free of any liens or encumbrances. This framework grants full residency and work authorization with maximum geographic and administrative flexibility.

  • Digital Nomad Visa: Ideal for remote employees, tech entrepreneurs, or digital executives who work for companies located outside of Spain. It allows them to reside legally in economic hubs like Madrid or Barcelona while benefiting from a highly attractive, optimized tax regime.

We analyze our clients' global asset portfolios to structure them efficiently under Spain’s state and regional fiscal frameworks. Our private wealth department designs bespoke holding corporate structures, manages cross-border inheritance planning to mitigate the impact of Succession and Gift Taxes, and minimizes wealth and income tax exposure by leveraging specific regional tax advantages in autonomous communities like Madrid and Andalusia, ensuring absolute compliance with international tax transparency and reporting standards.

A shareholder agreement (pacto de socios) is a private contract complementary to the company’s official bylaws. It regulates the internal relations between shareholders, establishes corporate governance rules, and defines the transferability of equity. It is a critical preventive tool used to resolve operational gridlocks, protect the rights of minority or majority stakes, define exit strategies, and secure the legal framework for funding rounds or corporate Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A).

It offers seamless geographical coverage and deep-seated local regulatory expertise across Spain's primary commercial markets. If an investor initiates a corporate transaction in Barcelona, our firm can simultaneously coordinate luxury asset logistics in Marbella or manage administrative proceedings with the centralized public authorities in Madrid. Clients do not need to manage multiple independent law firms; they have a single, trusted point of contact that activates our collective national intelligence.

Under Spanish criminal law, corporate entities can face direct criminal liability for offenses committed by their directors, executives, or employees. By designing and implementing a bespoke Criminal Compliance (Corporate Risk Management) program, we establish robust operational protocols to prevent financial crimes, money laundering, and tax fraud. If a company demonstrates an effective management and monitoring model before an offense occurs, Spanish law provides a direct pathway for the exemption or significant mitigation of corporate criminal liability.
