Law firm in Málaga · Teatinos-Universidad
English-speaking lawyers in Málaga, next to the University.
Spanish law firm with an office in Teatinos-Universidad. We advise expats, students, remote workers and companies in English, in person or by video call, and we tell you what your case really costs before you commit.
A Spanish firm, in your language
Legal advice without a language barrier
Our office is at Avenida de Gregorio Prieto, 27, in the Teatinos-Universidad district, a few minutes from the University of Málaga and well connected with the city centre and the coast. We work by appointment so that nobody waits in a corridor.
Most of the people who contact us are residents, students, remote workers and investors who can manage daily life in Spanish but do not want to sign a contract, a will or a court document they cannot fully understand. We explain every step, the deadlines involved and the documents that must be signed, and we keep the working language in English throughout the case.
The first consultation is free and confidential. After reviewing your papers we give you a written fixed-fee quote, with the court fees and disbursements listed separately, so the final invoice holds no surprises.

Before you call
Frequently asked questions
Do you speak English?
Yes. Consultations, calls and emails are handled in English. Court filings and documents submitted to the Spanish administration must be in Spanish, and we prepare or supervise those translations so that nothing you sign is in a language you cannot check.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. The first consultation is free, confidential and with no obligation, either at our office in Teatinos-Universidad or by video call. We explain the realistic options, the deadlines that apply and a written fixed-fee quote before any work starts.
Can you help me if I live on the Costa del Sol?
Yes. Clients in Marbella, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Estepona, Antequera and Ronda are attended by video call, and we travel to the courts of Málaga province when the case requires a court appearance.
How much will my case cost?
It depends on the procedure and on whether it is negotiated or litigated, so we do not quote over the phone. After reviewing your documents we give you a fixed fee in writing, with the disbursements identified separately. If you decide not to go ahead, you pay nothing.

Tell us what happened and bring the documents you have — even if they are incomplete. We will tell you whether you have a case, which deadline applies and what it would cost.
