Specialist legal advice for business and cross-border matters

EVENOR Abogados provides comprehensive legal advice to companies, investors and private clients who need legal certainty in an increasingly international, technological and dynamic environment.

We do not organise our work solely by area of law, but by the type of decision the client needs to make. Some matters involve investing or settling in Spain; others, protecting an international family estate; others, resolving a complex dispute; and others, adapting a company or technology project to the Spanish legal framework.

In every case, we combine the areas of law required to deliver a coordinated, practical response tailored to the client's real situation.

01

International private clients

We support individuals with personal, family or property interests in Spain, particularly where there is an international element.

We act in matters relating to residence, the purchase and transfer of property, asset planning, international successions, powers of attorney, legal representation in Spain and coordination with advisers in other countries.

These matters typically involve civil property law, private international law, real estate law, non-resident taxation and, at times, immigration law.

Typical matters
  • —Buying and transferring property in Spain
  • —Construction
  • —Cross-border successions
  • —Organising and protecting family assets
  • —Coordination with lawyers, notaries and tax advisers in other jurisdictions

Investment and business development in Spain

Investment and business development in Spain

We advise entrepreneurs who wish to carry on business or invest in Spain.

Our work begins with understanding the project: who is investing, with what aim, under what structure and which legal risks can be anticipated. From there, we help choose the right vehicle, prepare the necessary documentation and organise the legal relationships that will underpin the transaction.

We act on company formation, asset acquisitions, commercial contracts, shareholders' agreements, investment structures, financing and security, all in coordination with tax or financial advisers.

Typical matters
  • —Establishing foreign companies in Spain
  • —Formation of companies, subsidiaries or investment vehicles
  • —Domestic and international commercial contracts
  • —Shareholders' agreements and corporate organisation
  • —Property development
  • —Legal coordination of cross-border transactions
03

Property litigation and complex disputes

We defend our clients' interests in judicial and out-of-court proceedings of particular economic or financial significance.

Our experience in complex litigation allows us to assess not only the legal merits of a claim but also its practical advisability: timescales, costs, evidential risks, settlement prospects and the real effects of a judgment.

We act in disputes concerning property, construction, civil liability, breach of contract, corporate relationships, financial claims and disputes with an international element.

Typical matters
  • —Civil and commercial contractual claims
  • —Real estate and construction disputes
  • —Civil liability and financial loss
  • —Disputes between shareholders or companies
  • —Enforcement of court decisions
  • —Proceedings involving parties, assets or effects in different jurisdictions

Digital businesses and innovative structures

Digital businesses and innovative structures

We advise companies, entrepreneurs and technology projects that need to adapt their activity to the Spanish legal framework.

New business models often call for solutions that do not always fit traditional legal categories. That is why we analyse the project's structure, its contracts, its regulatory risks and how it relates to customers, users, partners, employees and investors.

We advise on technology contracts, digital models, legal protection of intangible assets, regulatory compliance, innovative corporate structures and schemes that allow employees or collaborators to share in the company's growth.

Typical matters
  • —Technology contracts and the provision of digital services
  • —Legal protection of innovative business models
  • —Corporate structures for start-ups and growing projects
  • —ESOPs, phantom shares and other participation schemes
  • —Regulatory compliance in digital environments
  • —Adapting international solutions to Spanish law
05

International mobility and residence in Spain

We assist professionals, entrepreneurs, investors and their families who wish to move to Spain or carry out part of their personal or professional activity here.

Moving your residence is not merely an administrative formality. It can have legal, tax, financial, family and business consequences. That is why we handle these matters in a coordinated way, particularly when the client maintains ties with other countries.

On immigration matters we work with highly specialised professionals (Loring International), integrating their advice into a broader legal view of the relocation or establishment in Spain.

Typical matters
  • —Residence for professionals, entrepreneurs and investors
  • —International mobility of skilled workers
  • —Digital nomads

Coordinated work

A coordinated legal response

Many matters do not belong to a single branch of law. An investment will almost certainly require advice on commercial law, tax, contracts, immigration and real estate law. An international succession may call for knowledge of civil law, private international law and assistance with foreign law. A business dispute may have corporate, contractual and reputational effects.

The role of EVENOR Abogados is to bring these pieces together, anticipate risks and give the client a clear, useful response proportionate to the decision they need to make.
