Disclaimer

Last updated: 10 May 2026

This website is operated by María Teresa Velasco Gómez, trading as Velasco Lawyers, a Spanish lawyer registered with the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Granada under nº 3676. Use of this website is governed by Spanish law and by the rules of the Spanish legal profession set out in the Estatuto General de la Abogacía Española and the Código Deontológico de la Abogacía Española.

1. No legal advice

The articles, frequently asked questions, case studies, guides and other materials published on this website are intended as general information about Spanish law and about the kind of work we do. They are not legal advice and they are not offered as a substitute for legal advice.

Every matter is different. The only way to ensure that the advice you receive is appropriate to your particular circumstances is to instruct a lawyer who can take full instructions on the relevant facts and documents. We do not therefore accept any duty of care towards anyone who relies on material on this website without first formally instructing us.

2. Scope and applicable law

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the content of this website addresses Spanish law and relevant European Union law as in force at the date shown above. The law evolves, decisions are reversed and statutes are reformed: information that was correct when published may not be correct when you read it. We do not undertake to update articles or guides except where we choose to do so.

Material on this website is not directed at, and should not be relied upon by, persons in jurisdictions where its publication or availability would be contrary to local law or regulation.

3. No warranty; limitation of liability

We provide this website on an “as is” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, conditions and other terms (whether express or implied) in relation to this website and its content, including any warranty of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise — arising from your access to, use of, or inability to use this website or any of its content. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, personal injury or death caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Spanish law.

4. Links to third-party websites

Where this website links to third-party websites, those links are provided for convenience and reference only. The third-party sites are not under our control and we accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy, security, privacy practices or availability. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

5. AI-assisted content

Some general-information articles on this website may have been drafted, summarised or edited with the assistance of generative AI tools, under lawyer supervision. Such tools can produce inaccurate or out-of-date statements. Their use does not change the points above: this material is general information only and is not a substitute for individual legal advice from a qualified lawyer who has reviewed your file.

6. Communications and the lawyer-client relationship

Sending us an email or initial enquiry does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship. We are only retained once we have confirmed acceptance of your matter in writing and any required client identification and anti-money-laundering checks have been completed (Law 10/2010 of 28 April). Until then, you should not send us confidential or privileged information beyond what is reasonably necessary to describe your matter.

7. Professional secrecy

As Spanish lawyers we are bound by the duty of professional secrecy under Article 542.3 of the Organic Law on the Judiciary (LOPJ) and the Estatuto General de la Abogacía Española. This duty applies to all information disclosed to us by clients and prospective clients and continues after the engagement ends.

8. Out-of-court dispute resolution

Consumer clients may, where applicable, refer disputes to the consumer mediation service of the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Granada or to other competent bodies designated under Spanish consumer law. This does not affect the right to bring proceedings before the competent Spanish courts.

9. Governing law and jurisdiction

This disclaimer, your use of this website and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by Spanish law. The Spanish courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, subject to any mandatory provisions of consumer protection law that may apply where you are domiciled.

10. Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer to reflect changes in our practice or in applicable law. The “Last updated” date at the top of the document reflects the date of the most recent material change.
