Spanish law
Understanding Spanish law
The Spanish law and tax team at Russell-Cooke offers specialist advice to private clients and internationally mobile families with Spanish connections.
Whether you are relocating, buying or selling property, managing cross-border estates, or planning for the future, our bilingual experts provide clear, tailored guidance to protect your assets and interests.

How our Spanish law team can help you
Our dedicated Spanish team advises Spanish nationals living in the UK, UK nationals living in Spain, and international families with assets in both countries. We have significant expertise in cross-border tax planning, applying the UK-Spain Double Tax Treaty and relevant domestic reliefs to prevent double taxation and optimise liabilities.
We regularly assist clients with Spanish ownership structuring, and the tax implications of investments in Spain. Our team also provides detailed advice on Spanish inheritance and succession planning, ensuring a smooth transfer of wealth across generations while coordinating the interaction of UK and Spanish wills.
For those relocating, we advise on tax residence and the application of the Spanish expatriate tax regime, so-called ‘Beckham Law Regime’, as a significant tax optimisation opportunity. We also support trustees and beneficiaries with Spanish connections, managing estates efficiently and ensuring correct tax treatment.
With in-depth knowledge of both legal systems, we provide seamless, comprehensive support for all Spanish law matters.
