How a mandate runs with us.
Understand
First we establish your matter, your objective and your expectation. The advice proper begins once there is a shared and clear understanding of it.
One contact
You are looked after in your own language for the whole life of the mandate. One contact, one language, one file.
Executed in Spain
All Spanish matters are carried out directly by our firm. There is no correspondent lawyer for your case to get stuck behind.
Before, not after
We place great weight on avoiding legal problems through advice given in good time. That strategy is where our high rate of out-of-court settlement comes from.
We earn your trust.
Trust
We advise openly, honestly and in plain terms, and do not hide behind legal jargon.
Individuality
As a client you are entitled to personal and competent attention. The point is to understand you and your objectives, and then to pursue them consistently.
Language
We speak your language in both senses: German and Spanish — and in a clear, followable account of the facts.
Focus on the goal
Having examined your matter we look for an effective and technically correct solution. Law and case law change; we stay current.
Cooperation
We cannot do everything. We secure comprehensive advice through cooperation with tax advisers, auditors and management consultants. And we are glad to tell you where to turn when your question is not our core competence.
