Legal solutions for foreign English-speaking companies with interests in Spain
At present, a high percentage of commercial transactions are carried out in English. Spain, with nearly 90 bilateral agreements signed with different countries, guarantees a framework of legal protection suitable for setting up activities in Spain and is currently one of the main countries receiving direct foreign investments.
The investments are located both in traditional key sectors (chemical, automotive, textile and shipbuilding industry, among others), as well as in sectors with high growth potential such as renewable energy, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and plastic industries or the R+D in information technologies and data processing (e.g. software, artificial intelligence and supercomputers). All of the above are supported by the flexibility and adaptability of economic operators, the quality of life, as well as the principle of free establishment offered by Spain.
The United Kingdom and the United States have always been a benchmark for Mariscal & Abogados. Our involvement with the North American market has resulted in the opening of a representative office in Miami, headquarters of the majority of companies with a Spanish affiliation due to their linguistic and cultural affinity. Apart from that, we also actively participate in different chambers and associations of international significance.
