How do I know if I need a lawyer?

If you haven’t worked with a lawyer before, there are many types of legal issues that could require you to have legal representation. Lawyers can help you to anticipate any issues and prevent legal problems before they arise, as well as after an event such as a car accident or an injury at work.

In most cases, if you have a legal issue it is best to at least talk to a law firm about your issue to get legal advice.

What would I need a lawyer for?

There are a variety of reasons for needing the help of a lawyer, such as property damage or a car accident, the sale or purchase of a home or real estate, the drafting of a Will, tax issues, and the setting up of a new business.

The most common reason for British people to use the expertise of a lawyer in Spain is when they are purchasing a property. Spanish lawyers can help British and other foreign citizens with immigration law, giving you essential and educated advice and helping you to fill out all of the relevant paperwork correctly – something that is particularly important in Spain. Any problems will generally be noticed quickly and rectified by a lawyer, meaning you can have peace of mind that your issue is being dealt with in the best possible way.

They can also assist in matters concerning tax and problems that may have arisen from the previous owner of a property.
