¿Who are we?

An expert team, a trusted partner.

Behind every international relocation there are important decisions, tight deadlines and a complex legal system to navigate. ExpatsMadrid has been helping executives, individuals and multinational companies settle in Spain for nearly 10 years, with full legal security: residency and documentation, renting and buying property, taxation and dealings with public authorities. Every situation is unique and deserves a tailored solution

Team

I am a lawyer and consultant specialising in supporting foreign citizens and companies with interests in Spain. I lead an agile and results-driven multidisciplinary team, capable of providing a comprehensive response to each case from different professional perspectives.
My background in Public Administration and private law firms, combined with my years as an expat, has given me a solid and cross-cutting understanding of the Spanish legal framework, which I put at the service of those arriving in this country and those already settled who face a new chapter.
We are defined by clear communication, empathy, problem-solving ability and attention to detail

Services

Arriving in Spain

Arriving in Spain opens a world of possibilities, but also a complex legal and administrative landscape you need to understand from the start. Each step has its requirements and implications, and getting it right from the beginning makes all the difference. We will guide you so your arrival is a smooth and peaceful start.

  • Residence visas
  • Documentation (NIE, registration, insurance)
  • Foreign representation
  • Property advice (Purchase, rental)
  • Housing search, education, commercal premises)
  • Rental or purchase contracts
  • Banking/ insurance/ utilities/ Communications/ Healthcare

Resident

Setting up in Spain is more than finding a home and opening a bank account. Over time, inevitable questions arise: how your income is taxed, what happens with your employment contract, what rights you have as a tenant. Expatsmadrid will guide you at every step.

  • Employment law ( Contracts, dismissals) 
  • Tax advice (PIT, Companies, VAT, Inheritance and donations)
  • Family law (Marriage, separation, wills)
  • Obligations & contracts (tenancy, claims)
  • Legal advice and assistance

I want to invest

Spain is one of the most attractive destinations for investment in Europe, but doing so safely requires making each decision with the right information and support. Setting up a company, acquiring a property, or launching a digital business each has its own rules and timelines. We will guide you so there are no surprises

  • Register as self-employed (autonomo) 
  • Company incorporation
  • Purchase of commercial premises (real estate)

Testimonials

Mini & Harish

We are an Indian family, settled in Madrid. There were numerous registrations and formalities that we availed Elvira’s support for. In addition, I took initial Spanish language lessons from Elvira which proved tremendously useful to settle in. I would really recommend Elvira’s services for expats coming into Madrid for assistance for localisation services
