Puerta Vides

About Puerta Vides

Founded in Marbella in 1998 by Rafael Puerta Vides, this practice brings together lawyers and economists serving companies and individuals on the Costa del Sol and beyond. The legal side covers corporate and commercial matters, property, family and inheritance, maritime law, intellectual property, technology and litigation, including cooperation with foreign firms on court proceedings and certificates of Spanish law. A separate economists department handles tax planning, returns, accounting and international taxation for non-residents, whether individuals or companies. A labour team advises foreign companies that employ staff in Spain. Professionals belong to their respective professional bodies, and much of the team is trained in French, which supports French-speaking clients alongside English-language work through associated lawyers. The website exists in Spanish, English, French and Czech.
