Employment law · Initial enquiries
Employment matters in Spain.
Confirm the right support first.
A question about work in Spain may involve employment rules, social security, taxation or permission to work. These are connected, but they are not the same issue.
Before sending case documents, contact our Almuñécar office with a brief outline and any important date. We need to confirm whether we can assist with the particular matter and agree the scope before acting.
If you need a response to a dismissal, official notice or hearing, seek prompt advice from an available employment lawyer.
Start with the question
Which part needs advice?
A clear description helps establish what kind of professional support is needed. Tell us whether you are contacting us as an employee, employer or someone preparing to work in Spain.
The employment relationship
A contract, change to working arrangements or dispute may require assessment by an employment lawyer. Include the broad issue and any formal notice already received.
Tax and social security
Payroll, tax and contribution questions are distinct from representation in an employment dispute. Explain which obligation or document concerns you.
Permission to live and work
Nationality and individual circumstances affect the applicable residence and work arrangements. Do not assume that resolving an employment contract also resolves immigration requirements.
A business matter with staffing implications
If the question forms part of a wider company or commercial matter, explain that connection at the outset.
Before the first conversation
Keep the dates and documents together.
Prepare a short timeline and identify the documents relevant to your question. We will tell you what to provide if we can consider the matter.
Dates and notices
Record when the event happened and when any letter, notice or court papers were received. Mention any response or hearing date.
Your starting documents
Keep the contract, relevant correspondence and payment or employment records available. Send a brief outline first, rather than a full private file.
Contacting the firm does not confirm representation or protect a legal deadline. If time is short, do not wait for an online response before finding a lawyer able to act.
Confirm availability
Check whether we can help.
Use this form for an initial availability enquiry. Our team needs to establish whether the work fits the firm’s current capacity and scope.
- Are you an employee, employer or planning to work in Spain?
- What is the issue and where did it arise?
- Is there a notice, hearing or other deadline?
Sending an enquiry does not appoint the firm or confirm that we can act. Do not wait for a form response if a deadline or immediate assistance is involved.

Can we assist?
A short outline is enough. All fields are required unless marked optional.
We need to confirm availability and agree instructions before acting on a new matter.
Before you get in touch
Your questions, answered.
Does this page mean you will take my employment case?
No. We need to confirm whether we can assist and agree instructions before acting. Please begin with a brief availability enquiry.
Can the accounting department represent me in a labour dispute?
Accounting and tax administration are different from legal representation. The type of support needed must be established before any work is agreed.
What if I have already received a notice or court papers?
Seek prompt advice from a lawyer able to act, and keep the document and receipt date. Do not assume an enquiry to this firm changes the deadline.
