FAQ
Frequently asked
questions
Can’t find your answer? First consultation free with no obligation.
Free consultationWhat distinguishes a commercial lawyer from a generic legal advisor?
+
A commercial lawyer specializes in business law — companies, commercial contracts, corporate transactions and disputes between companies. While a generic advisor covers many areas superficially, our commercial team has 33 years of exclusive experience in this field.
Can you handle a company merger or acquisition in Spain?
+
Yes. We handle the complete M&A process: legal due diligence, negotiation of the sale and purchase agreement, notary and registry management, and coordination with financial advisors. We work on both purchases and sales of companies of all sizes.
What is a shareholders agreement and when is it necessary?
+
A shareholders agreement is a private agreement between the shareholders of a company that regulates aspects not covered by the bylaws: veto rights, drag-along, tag-along, exit clauses, valuation of shares. It is essential in any company with more than one partner from day one.
