Legal solutions for German, Austrian and Swiss companies with interests in Spain
According to data from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics (INE), in 2014, 18.5% of foreign businesses established in Spain originated from Germany, focusing their activities on industries like automobile, chemical, electronic, pharmaceutical, and construction. The number of German companies operating in Spain has consistently increased since then, driven by the country’s economic recovery and its favourable investment conditions.
Since its establishment in 2001, Mariscal Abogados has been committed to serving the Spanish-German market, providing legal advice to German, Austrian, and Swiss companies with interests in Spain and to Spanish clients in their legal dealings with the German-speaking world.
In this regard, our team includes bilingual lawyers with professional education acquired in both Germany and Spain.
