Corporate & Business Law
Legal and Tax Advisory for International Entrepreneurs and Companies in Spain
Establishing and operating a business in Spain, particularly for international clients, requires a robust legal and tax framework. We provide comprehensive corporate and business law services designed to guide our clients through every stage of the venture – from initial setup to ongoing operations and growth, all while ensuring full compliance with Spanish and international regulations.
Company Formation & Corporate Structuring
We advise international clients on the full process of establishing and structuring a company in Spain, including limited liability companies (Sociedad Limitada), branches, and representative offices. Our support includes drafting statutes, securing NIEs for foreign shareholders, obtaining a tax identification number (CIF), and liaising with banks for corporate account setup.
We also assist in preparing shareholder agreements, power of attorney documents, and managing appointments of directors or administrators. Our approach ensures that your company is correctly registered, legally protected, and ready to operate efficiently.
Whether you’re establishing a company, expanding operations, or managing compliance, we offer clear and professional guidance.
Corporate Tax Advisory & Compliance
Our corporate tax services are tailored to the needs of international businesses operating in Spain. We assist with strategic tax planning, compliance with Spanish tax authority (AEAT) obligations, and ensure correct filing of key forms such as Modelo 200 (IS), Modelo 303 (VAT), and Modelo 390 (annual VAT summary).
We help foreign-owned companies structure operations and plan efficiently around intercompany services, transfer pricing, and withholding obligations. Additionally, we monitor regional tax variations and exemptions that may apply to your business.
Whether you need support during tax audits, or wish to review your current corporate tax position, our goal is to ensure full compliance while protecting the financial interests of your company.
Commercial Law & Corporate Governance
We provide advisory services in commercial and corporate law to ensure your company remains compliant with its statutory obligations and is equipped to handle transactions, regulatory changes, and strategic decisions with legal confidence.
This includes drafting and legalisation of board resolutions, company minutes, corporate records, and general counsel on decision-making processes. We also review and negotiate commercial contracts, joint venture agreements, and provide legal oversight in corporate restructurings.
Our support is particularly valuable to international clients who require ongoing legal oversight but do not have in-house counsel. We ensure your Spanish business adheres to best practices in governance, risk, and compliance, with consistent legal clarity.
