Del Canto Chambers offers Corporate Tax & Legal services on transactions, from start to finish. We provide a first-class service to clients who are considering conducting businesses in the UK, Spain, the Middle East or Latam.
Every joint venture deal must be carefully planned, managed and customised for all parties’ specific businesses and needs. As such, we have created an operating agreement model that addresses our clients’ needs. Our services include supporting investors and entrepreneurs, advising on structuring as well as drafting and negotiating joint venture agreements, from the initial NDAs and MoUs down to execution.
Our team has broad expertise in a wide range of joint venture models and can advise on the commercial and strategic issues involved. We also provide counsel on regional regulatory matters; thanks to our international presence (in Spain, the UK and Qatar) we can guide overseas professional services firms that are in the process of establishing offices in the UK and continental Europe and advise on cross-border mergers.
Our number one priority is our clients’ individual needs. We will collaborate with you to meet your goals and build a customised structure to the venture while meeting each parties’ specific needs. Joint ventures are all about the allocation of risk and responsibility. We work with you to anticipate potential areas of commercial conflict and develop practical and appropriate mechanisms to resolve disputes.
Furthermore, we assist with reorganising or dissolving a joint venture or partnership if required. Our lawyers recognize the need to plan the parties’ exit from any joint venture and treat this process as carefully as its formation.

Besides setting up a company, acquiring one or setting up a joint venture or partnership, you can opt for drafting an agency and representation agreement. Setting up an agency involves drafting an agreement between an individual and legal entity (the agent) in exchange for remuneration, to promote commercial acts or transactions for the account of another.
In this way, agents are independent intermediaries who do not act in their own name, but rather on behalf of someone else. It can be a good option for promoting your business, bringing in new leads and clients, as typically, the main task of an agent is to bring together all parties involved in a transaction.
Our firm can help you navigate through the drafting of the agreement in order to negotiate and agree on the most convenient clauses for your business.

The Beckham Rule is a special Spanish tax regime for expatriates. It allows qualifying individuals to pay a flat tax rate on employment income and to be treated as non-residents for certain other tax purposes.
Any individual who moves to Spain for professional reasons and has not been tax resident in Spain during the five previous tax years may apply. This includes employees, remote workers, directors, and certain entrepreneurs.
Qualifying income is taxed at a flat rate of 24% up to €600,000. Income exceeding that threshold is taxed at 47%.
You must not have been considered a tax resident in Spain during the five tax years immediately preceding your relocation.
Your move to Spain must be for genuine employment or professional reasons, such as:
Holding an employment contract with a Spanish or foreign companyWorking remotely from Spain under a Digital Nomad Visa
Acting as a highly qualified professional or entrepreneur conducting a business activity in Spain
Serving as a director of a company, provided that—if the company is asset-holding—you hold no more than 25% of its shares
You must apply for the regime within six months of registering with the Spanish Social Security system (Seguridad Social). This deadline is strictly enforced.
The regime applies for a total of six tax years: the year you become a Spanish tax resident and the following five full years.
The regime applies for a total of six tax years: the year you become a Spanish tax resident and the following five full years.
Under the Beckham Rule, all employment and professional income is taxable in Spain, regardless of where it is earned. However, income from non-Spanish sources—such as interest, dividends, investment income, and capital gains—is not subject to Spanish tax.
You are only subject to Wealth Tax and Solidarity Tax on assets located in Spain. Foreign assets are excluded from the Spanish tax base during the six-year period.
Your spouse and dependent children under 25 (or of any age if legally disabled) may also benefit from the regime, provided they meet the requirements and file separate applications.
If you move to Spain to act as a director, you may apply regardless of your shareholding. However, if the company is an asset-holding entity, your ownership must not exceed 25%.
If you cease to be tax resident in Spain before completing the six-year period, you will automatically lose the benefits of the regime. From that point onward, you will be taxed under the general Spanish tax system, which includes progressive rates and worldwide income taxation.
