Legal solutions for English-speaking companies with interests in Spain

Currently, a significant percentage of commercial transactions involve English. With nearly 90 bilateral agreements signed with various countries, Spain ensures a framework of legal protection conducive to establishing activities, making it a key destination for direct foreign investments.

The investments are situated in both key traditional sectors (such as chemical, automotive, textile, and shipbuilding industries) and in sectors with high growth potential, including renewable energy, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and plastic industries, as well as research and development in information technologies and data processing (e.g., software, artificial intelligence, and supercomputers). The flexibility and adaptability of economic operators, the quality of life, and the principle of free establishment offered by Spain actively support all these investments.

Mariscal Abogados has consistently regarded the United Kingdom and the United States as benchmarks. Our engagement with the North American market has led to a representative office in Miami, a hub for many companies with Spanish affiliations due to linguistic and cultural affinities. Additionally, we actively participate in various chambers and associations of international significance.

To provide comprehensive and strategic solutions for foreign companies interested in investing in Spain, Mariscal Abogados has established an English Desk led by Alberto Álvarez.
