May 24, 2021

The Doing Business in Spain guide sets out the basic information that should be known by any investor not established in Spain with an interest in investing in our country. It includes a general introduction to the main characteristics, figures and statistics regarding Spain, a detailed description of the political and administrative structure of the State (political system, legal system, courts and arbitration tribunals, economic and financial system, etc.), and an explanation of the main economic institutions and types of Spanish companies.

That basic framework having been established, our guide comprehensively addresses fundamental legal issues for an investor not established in Spain, such as insolvency, security interests, investment and commercial regulations, representatives, core issues regarding intellectual property and data protection, labour and tax legislation, and environmental and criminal law.

Finally, the guide includes a regional directory that lists the most important bodies that one has to interact with when carrying out a business or investment activity in Spain.
