We have been pioneers in the implementation and judicial processing in Spain of typical maritime procedures, such as the preventive arrest of vessels, the enforcement of maritime mortgages, the unloading and judicial deposit of goods, and maritime salvage and general average proceedings, among others.
We have the ability to act directly and with the necessary urgency before any court or tribunal in any part of Spain and before any jurisdiction, including the Supreme Court, the National Court, and the Constitutional Court.
We also have an external network of professionals to cover the legal services required in foreign jurisdictions (Europe, Asia, USA, Latin America, etc.) and in other areas of specialization (civil, criminal, asset-related), always with the mediation, guarantee, and quality control of our law firm.
We have tackled a wide variety of legal matters, including complex and high-profile cases, in which we have put forth all our knowledge and professional efforts to achieve the most effective solution.
