Litigation

Bankruptcy

If you have a claim with a Spanish company that has gone into bankruptcy in Spain, you as a creditor must file a legal claim in the bankruptcy at the court. It is not enough that you submit your claim to the trustee, and you must appoint a Spanish lawyer who can submit your claim at the Spanish court handling the bankruptcy. If your own business is in trouble, we advise you on how to go through a bankruptcy process.
