Legal advice for expats and international residents in Spain

Living in Spain as a foreign national means navigating a legal system that works very differently from the UK or Ireland. Tax residency rules, property registration, community of owners obligations, employment contracts and rental agreements all follow Spanish law, and the details matter.

Our team advises individuals and families on a wide range of everyday legal matters, always with the practical goal of keeping things simple and protecting your position.

Your NIE number in Spain

The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is the tax identification number every foreigner needs before carrying out any financial transaction in Spain: buying property, opening a bank account, signing a contract, registering a vehicle or even paying certain taxes. Without it, nothing moves.

«PALS can handle the whole thing on your behalf using a power of attorney, so you don’t need to be physically present. It’s one of those small things that makes a real difference, especially if you’re still in the UK planning your move.»

What else we can help with

Purchase Agreements

Whether you’re buying or selling property, signing a private contract or entering a commercial agreement, we review every clause before you commit. In Spain, purchase contracts are legally binding from the moment both parties sign, so having a solicitor check the small print can save you significant problems down the line.

Traffic & Fines

Spanish traffic fines can escalate quickly if ignored, and some carry points penalties that affect your licence, including licences issued in the UK. We handle disputes, appeals and representation so you don’t have to navigate the Spanish traffic authority system alone.

Rental Agreements

Whether you’re renting out your Spanish property or renting as a tenant, the contract matters. Spanish rental law has specific rules around deposits, notice periods, rent increases and eviction, and a poorly drafted contract can leave either party exposed. We draft and review rental agreements to make sure you’re covered.

If you’re not sure whether we can help with something specific, just ask. We’d rather you called and found out than struggled on alone.
