During the initial consultation, we assess your case and outline the services we offer to assist you from the outset. We conduct a thorough analysis of all relevant aspects, answer your questions, define the issue, and establish a roadmap for resolution.
The consultation is always conducted by the most qualified expert based on your specific case (lawyer, tax advisor, business consultant, etc.), ensuring that you receive professional legal and tax advice from the very beginning. Once the consultation is complete, we will send you an invoice via email, along with a service proposal and representation agreement if applicable. Payments can be made via bank transfer from any European country or Switzerland.
Based on our experience, initial consultations typically last around 45 minutes. If necessary, you may request a brief follow-up appointment to address any additional questions that may arise after the initial session (included in the price).
Consultations are available in Spanish, German, and English. Unless otherwise specified, appointments will be scheduled in the language used at the time of booking.
How does the initial consultation work?
To prepare for your consultation, you may send us a brief description of your case and key questions via email or through our online form. You can also attach relevant documents such as notifications or legal requests to help us directly address the next steps and deadlines. You may choose from the following options:
- In-person consultation at our office in Málaga. [Directions]
- Phone consultation: Provide your landline or mobile number (EU or Switzerland), and we will call you at the scheduled time.
- TEAMS Video Call: We will send you an email with a TEAMS link. No software installation is required.
What does the initial consultation include?
The consultation is designed to gather essential case details while providing direct legal and tax advice. If further actions are required, we will discuss and plan the next steps accordingly.
If you have relevant documents, you may send them in advance via email. This allows us to skip the data collection step and proceed directly with advising you.
The initial consultation serves both as specific legal guidance and an introduction to potential ongoing services. Please note that, due to the consultation’s structure, we cannot provide written follow-ups or responses to additional questions after the session. Although the consultation itself constitutes an engagement, neither the client nor our firm is obligated to enter into further service agreements. All received data and documents are protected under attorney-client privilege from the outset.
Our Guarantees:
We prioritize both the technical resolution of your case and your overall satisfaction with our services. Since many issues arise due to miscommunication, we provide a streamlined, automated system for booking appointments with our experts.
If at any time you are not completely satisfied, you have direct access to our firm’s management for resolution.
Your initial consultation is always conducted by the most qualified expert for your case (lawyer, tax consultant, business advisor, etc.), ensuring expert legal and tax guidance from the outset.
