Our strong dispute resolution team represent clients before Spanish domestic and EU courts (including the Supreme Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union), international and domestic arbitration. We coordinate proceedings in more than one jurisdiction.

We are frequently requested to appear before the courts to enforce English judgments and decisions in Spain. Enforcing a court decision before Spanish courts involve new proceedings requesting the reimbursement of a sum of money, the right to have an action carried out or not carried out, or that a recognised right be fulfilled by registration in the relevant public registry, depending on the order. After the Brexit transition period enforcement of judgments between the UK and EU member states will essentially be countries’ national laws including the “exequatur” court proceedings to obtain first a recognition and finally the enforcement of the judgement.

Our litigation lawyers provide advice and act at all stages of the litigation, including ordinary appeals against decisions by the first instance courts. We are specialists in the preparation of appeals before the superior courts and the Spanish Supreme Court. We can assess the risks, costs, procedures and advise on the best strategies when dealing with the judicial system in Spain. If there is a cross-border element our dual-qualified lawyers will be able to advise on the regulation and associated implications.
