Zafo Law is a Spanish law firm oriented towards Scandinavian clients. A law firm of modern society, where language and national borders are seen as an option rather than a limitation. Our international approach enables us to address the needs of our clients and is thus our lifeblood.
We stand out especially in that we specialize in our clients and not in specific areas of law. This has happened as a consequence of the development of society, where the need for legal assistance across borders has never been greater and continues to grow.
Zafo Law specializes in those parts of Spanish law where the international element plays a significant role. Our experience and competencies create value for our clients and society in general, and we are not afraid to say that we are a Friend of Scandinavia.
“Since the foundation of Zafo Law in 2004, the office has gained exceptional experience in advising Scandinavian clients on Spanish legal matters. The most of cases dealt with by Zafo Law contain an international element involving one of the Scandinavian countries.”
Absolutely – particularly in our day-to-day work with Scandinavian clients.”
“The speed of trust!” Nothing creates results faster than trust. Scandinavian social models are built on trust, while Spanish bureaucracy is the result of Roman law.
It is important to us that we can trust each other. We will always do our very best to safeguard our clients’ interests, but we do not carry out unnecessary duplicate work if there is a lack of trust in our work.
Unfortunately, there are many unauthorised advisors who offer legal advice without having the legal right to do so and therefore also lack of professional civil liability insurance coverage.
Zafo Law is 100% independent, and we do not receive commissions, gifts, or anything similar from third parties we may refer clients to, including banks, real estate agents, other lawyers, etc. The owners of Zafo Law are qualified Spanish lawyers, and we are covered by professional civil liability insurance. We act with integrity.
In Spain, people unfortunately often undergo extensive documentation requirements and, at times, a frustrating chain of administrative steps that must be completed in order to reach a final result. We respect both our clients and our employees. Accordingly, when the staff at Zafo Law request documentation from clients, they always strive to do so in the best possible manner.
We advise our clients in a language they feel comfortable and secure with. In our case handling, we place particular emphasis on matters that are common in Spain but would be considered unusual in the Scandinavian countries. We want our clients to be as well-informed as possible before making any decision, so that even “unusually common Spanish factors” are included in the decision-making process.
“Since the establishment of Zafo Law in 2004, the firm has gained extraordinary experience in advising Danish clients on Spanish legal matters. The vast majority of cases handled by Zafo Law include an international element involving Denmark.”
For more than 15 years, every single day we have been working on international issues in Spain, where Scandinavian interests have been involved.
This means that we have accumulated specialist knowledge in our field of law, which many other Spanish law firms have not had the same opportunity to do, since they probably only see the same issues for Scandinavian clients in Spain a few times a year.
We work in Spanish but provide our services in a language other than Spanish.
Zafo Law was founded in Barcelona in 2004 by lawyers who had many years of experience in international law at another, now defunct, law firm. Zafo Law’s goal was to be a multidisciplinary law firm oriented towards the Scandinavian business world in Spain, drawing on the experience gained since 1997 working in the Scandinavian legal market in Spain, as was the case with Vicente Sebastián Ruiz, including business and litigation, which have developed into some of our most important areas of work.
We have thus built up specialist knowledge in international legal matters in Spain within a broad legal spectrum.
Zafo Law has quickly become one of the leading Spanish law firms in solving legal issues and handling cases in Spain involving Scandinavians, Scandinavian companies or Scandinavian advisors.
In 2006, we opened an office in Alicante.
