What Our Customers
Demand
When first creating the myAdvocate Spain
law group we asked our customers what they needed. They
told us the following:
a) They wanted access to
highly-qualified, experienced and reliable
English-speaking lawyers;
b) Being in unfamiliar territory abroad,
they told us that they also wanted extra assurances
regarding fees and
service levels
c) And of course, they wanted all of
this at the best possible price.
A Completely Unique Legal Service
It makes sense that most English-speakers
feel vulnerable when making legal decisions abroad.
Legal decisions tend also to be important financial decisions and are made all the more difficult by an absence of benchmarks to compare service providers.
myAdvocate Spain provides clients with
unique guarantees on the integrity and effectiveness of
it's Spanish lawyers. In this way our clients can feel as
comfortable as they would making the same legal decisions
at home.
Guaranteeing Legal Costs & Services in Spain
By using a legal document known in Spanish as a ‘hoja de
encargo’ you can be protected against the possibility of any
future increases in agreed fees. This legal document
identifies the parties involved in the agreement and then
sets out:
1) the precise services to be
provided by the lawyer,
2) the exact fee to be charged and
3) the payment method and
time-frame.
The document is signed by the lawyer and the client and so becomes legally binding. The fees may not be increased at a later date without the express agreement of the client. Furthermore, the lawyer is legally bound to carry-out the services in the manner and to the extent agreed in the legal document.
In
keeping with our goal of providing complete transparency, a
copy is made available in English and explanatory notes can be
downloaded which ensures that the agreement is fully
understood.
This is the ONLY way to legally guarantee legal fees and service levels in Spain and myAdvocate Spain is unique in offering this as a standard feature.
Lawyers Officially Regulated
by Spanish Law Societies
All of our lawyers are registered and regulated by their local Law Society and are consequently covered by professional indemnity insurance coverage.
As a client of myAdvocate Spain you will receive a ‘Lawyer Fact Sheet’ which details the latest official registry information regarding your lawyer. The fact that your lawyer is currently registered also serves as proof that they have not been subject to any serious disciplinary procedures.
The
information provided by the ‘Lawyer Fact Sheet’ is obtained
directly from ‘Red Abogacia’, an
independent electronic portal developed by the General
Council of Spanish Law Societies and which is the most
up-to-date register of practicing lawyers in Spain.
How We Ensure Lawyers' Levels of English
By speaking individually with each and every lawyer we are able to personally gauge their level of English and suitability for the provision of legal services in English.
Providing A National Service
Our group of lawyers, tax and labour experts can be found in
most major population centres as well as smaller urban
centres in the major Mediterranean coastal resort areas
including the Balearic and Canary Islands.
Ensuring Our Services Are Competitively Priced
By
implementing the fee structure recommended by the Local Law
Societies in Spain we can ensure that the fees charged by
the lawyers are within the normal and average
guidelines.
It
is notable that quotations for legal services in Spain can
vary by 100% or more for exactly
the same standard services which is why we only seek
qualified and experienced professionals that are able to
offer competitive
pricing. Furthermore, with the agreement of our customers,
we are continuously monitoring fee quotation levels to make
sure they conform with average price levels.
