You deal directly with me. I approach your matter with discretion, explain the risks and options clearly, and define the scope and proposed terms before work begins. A strategy tailored to your interests, rather than a standard response.


Legal advice should start from the outset, before reserving a property or paying any holding deposit. Early review helps identify risks while the terms and the decision are still open.
In coastal locations, a property’s title is only part of the picture. Planning status, permits, the legality of existing works, coastal restrictions and relevant administrative proceedings may affect its use, value and future development. The review must address the specific circumstances of each asset.
An initial review of available title and property information, apparent planning issues and the proposed reservation terms. Identify early warning signs before any payment or commitment.
Detailed examination of title and charges, planning and licensing documentation, relevant coastal constraints, liabilities and contractual protections. Resolve findings and reflect the agreed safeguards in the contract before signing.
Update the relevant information, verify that agreed conditions and documentation are satisfied, and review the deed and completion arrangements before execution before the notary.
A clear explanation of the risks identified, the outstanding questions and the protections to consider negotiating. The purpose is to help you decide whether, and on what terms, to proceed, with the agreed scope of review made explicit.
These are the three stages of the proposed advisory approach. The scope and documents required are adapted to each transaction.

Your investment is considered as a whole: how the acquisition terms, licences, property use and future plans fit together. Advice can continue beyond completion, as your asset and objectives evolve.
Experienced legal assistance with regularisation and planning enforcement proceedings, real estate investment audits, and the strategy for establishing and developing new projects or assets. A coordinated approach to legal feasibility, administrative procedures and investment decisions.
Specialist legal advice for international buyers of luxury villas and homes. Personal guidance through reservation terms, due diligence, purchase contracts and completion before the notary.
Legal advice on hotel acquisitions and investments, with review of the property, transaction structure, relevant licences and contractual arrangements, tailored to the proposed investment.
A structured legal review of assets or portfolios: title, charges, contracts, planning constraints and administrative risks. Findings translated into acquisition conditions, priorities and an informed investment decision.
Review of applicable licences and the planning position, available regularisation routes, enforcement proceedings and legal defence. Coordination with technical professionals and the competent authorities, according to the circumstances of the case.
Legal strategy from site selection and initial feasibility to permits, project structure and contractual arrangements. Identify dependencies early and align the development plan with the applicable planning framework.
Advice on coastal boundaries, restrictions affecting adjacent property, authorisations, concessions and related administrative proceedings. Coastal issues are considered in context alongside the proposed acquisition, licence or development.
Property acquisitions, commercial matters, contracts, leases, owners’ associations and family matters, with personal advice for Spanish and international clients.
My practice is supported by the continuous study of legislative developments affecting investment, planning, corporate law and leases, together with the monitoring of new municipal general plans and their revisions across Málaga and Cádiz. This ongoing work informs the analysis of each investment, licence application and development strategy.
For the first contact, a brief outline of your matter and any relevant deadline is enough. We can then discuss the appropriate way to share documentation and arrange a private conversation.
Your enquiry comes directly to me. We first discuss your objectives and timing, then agree how to share documentation. Before work begins, we define the scope and proposed terms of engagement.
