We cover the full legal cycle of an international matter on Mallorca — from the legal review of a property purchase to the ongoing tax structure of a corporate group.

01Real Estate Law

The safe property purchase on Mallorca.

From the first viewing to the handover of keys: we review, negotiate and accompany the entire transaction — before signing, not after.

Buying a property on Mallorca combines Spanish civil law, Balearic regulation, cadastral rules and taxation — with additional pitfalls for non-residents. A deposit contract signed without review can cost tens of thousands of euros; a missing holiday-let licence can wipe out the expected yield.

We act as the buyer's lawyer — not the seller's or the agent's. Our advice is independent.

  • Due diligence: land registry, planning, community of owners
  • Drafting and negotiating the deposit (arras) contract
  • NIE application and Spanish bank account opening
  • Coordination with notary and land registry
  • Model 600 (ITP) and Model 720 — where applicable
  • Purchase by power of attorney (no travel to Mallorca required)
02Corporate Law

Incorporation and structure of Spanish companies.

S.L., S.A., branches, holdings — designed to work under Spanish tax and accounting framework from day one.

Each corporate form is chosen for its taxation, governance and registration duties. We design the one that fits your business — not the fastest one.

  • Incorporation of S.L. and S.A. with tailored articles
  • Branches and permanent establishments of foreign companies
  • Shareholders' agreements and family protocols
  • Governing bodies, powers of attorney and proxies
  • Statutory amendments, capital increases, transformations
03Commercial Law

International contracts that hold up.

We draft, review and negotiate cross-border B2B contracts — with the right applicable law, jurisdiction and warranty clauses from the outset.

A poorly drafted contract is not a problem — until it is. And by then, it is too late.

  • International sale of goods (CISG, INCOTERMS)
  • Distribution, agency and franchise
  • Service and licensing agreements
  • General terms and conditions (B2B and B2C)
  • Applicable law, arbitration and jurisdiction clauses
04Tax Law

Ongoing tax advice and accounting.

Tax planning for non-residents, IRPF/IRNR/IS handling, commercial accounting and coordination with advisors in the home country.

Spanish and Balearic tax law changes with every budget. We work with clients who need a local advisor speaking their language — not a generic gestoría.

  • Non-resident income tax (IRNR, Model 210)
  • Corporate income tax (IS) and ongoing accounting
  • VAT, withholding taxes, periodic filings
  • Cross-border wealth and succession planning
  • Coordination with tax advisors in DE, AT, CH, UK, SE
05Insolvency Law

Restructuring and insolvency proceedings.

Prevention at the pre-insolvency stage, court-approved restructuring plans and — when no other route remains — ordinary insolvency proceedings.

Spain's insolvency reform opens real restructuring options before formal insolvency. Acting early is the difference between continuing operations and liquidating them.

  • Pre-insolvency proceedings and court-approved plans
  • Filing and running the voluntary insolvency
  • Challenge of claims and qualification of proceedings
  • Acquisition of productive units (art. 224)
  • Directors' liability
06Tourism Law

Holiday rental and Balearic regulation.

Tourism marketing licence in the Balearics, compliance and defence in enforcement proceedings before the Consell.

Mallorca is one of the European regions with the strictest holiday-rental regulation. Buying a finca without a licence — or sold as "rentable" when it isn't — remains a common and expensive mistake.

  • Licence check before purchase
  • Licence application, transfer and cancellation
  • Adaptation of ETV (Estancia Turística de Vivienda)
  • Defence in Consell enforcement proceedings
  • Contracts with rental platforms and tour operators
