Would you like to discuss your matter with us?

Different disciplines. Shared responsibility.
Legal and tax matters often require more than one perspective. Collaboration and clear communication between professionals therefore form part of the way JC&A addresses the needs of individuals, businesses and investors.
Continuity of contact, attention to detail and an understanding of each decision’s wider context are central to our relationships with clients.
Every conversation starts somewhere.
Tell us briefly what you need. Our team will consider the most appropriate way to respond to your enquiry.

Frequently asked questions about our team
How can I contact the team of lawyers in Marbella?
You can contact the team of lawyers in Marbella at JC&A using the enquiry form on this page, by calling +34 952 924 656 or by writing to info@jca-abogados.com. For an initial enquiry, a brief and clear description is more useful than a lengthy legal explanation. Tell us whether you need advice about a property transaction, a family matter, taxation, a dispute, a company or another issue, and what you would like to achieve. If a deadline is approaching, mention it at the outset.
If you have received a court document, official notification or contractual notice, please indicate the date on which it was received and any stated response date. Those details can help identify whether the matter may be urgent, although the documents must be reviewed before any deadline can be assessed. If you live outside Spain, you can also provide your country of residence and preferred contact times so that communications can be arranged appropriately.
An initial message allows the firm to understand the general nature of the matter and consider who may be best placed to assist. It does not mean that a professional engagement has been accepted, and it is not a substitute for advice based on a proper review of the circumstances. Please avoid sending highly sensitive personal documents through a general enquiry form; you can ask about a suitable secure channel if documentation is needed. You can also learn more about the firm on our English homepage before getting in touch.
Does the firm provide both legal and tax advice?
JC&A brings together professionals involved in legal and economic advisory work. That combination can be particularly relevant where legal decisions also carry tax, financial or business implications. Buying or selling a property, for example, may involve contractual obligations, ownership questions and taxation. A corporate restructuring may require consideration of company law alongside accounting and tax matters. Inheritance matters can similarly bring together succession rules, documentation, property ownership and potential tax liabilities.
This does not mean that every client needs a multidisciplinary team or that all issues follow the same process. The nature and scope of the matter determine the expertise required. Some instructions call for focused legal advice, while others benefit from coordinated consideration of several aspects at an early stage. Our aim is to understand what the client is trying to achieve and to identify the questions that need proper examination.
If you have a business, property or personal interests in Marbella, it helps to explain whether you need advice about one transaction, a particular document, an ongoing dispute or continuing assistance. The firm can then discuss the appropriate scope of work, documentation, professional involvement and engagement terms. No particular legal or financial outcome can be guaranteed in advance. Introducing the team is intended to help you understand the professional disciplines represented at JC&A, not to offer a conclusion before your individual circumstances have been assessed.
Can JC&A assist international clients?
An international outlook has been part of JC&A’s history since 1990, when the firm participated in the establishment of Lawspan and later became associated with GGI. Marbella is home to a diverse international community, and clients may have family, business or property interests in Spain while living elsewhere. Such matters can involve different legal systems, residency arrangements and documentation requirements, which must be considered carefully before advice is given.
For example, a non-resident may seek assistance with the acquisition or management of property in Marbella. A family may need guidance about assets or succession matters involving more than one country. A company may be considering a commercial agreement, investment or corporate decision with an international dimension. Each situation calls for identifying where the relevant people and assets are located, which documents govern the arrangement and whether advice is also needed from a professional in another jurisdiction.
When contacting the team from outside Spain, please tell us your country of residence, the broad nature of the matter and whether another adviser is already involved. This can make the initial conversation more productive and help avoid unnecessary duplication. International professional connections should not be understood as a promise of direct representation in every country. Any need for external collaboration, the scope of available services and the terms of the engagement would need to be confirmed for the particular matter. Our objective is to approach cross-border questions with care, coordination and a clear understanding of the client’s circumstances.
Can I ask to speak to a particular member of the team?
Yes. If you already know a professional at JC&A, have been referred to a named member of the team or wish to contact someone whose role appears relevant to your enquiry, you can mention that person when getting in touch. Include their name in the message and a brief explanation of the matter you would like to discuss. This helps direct your enquiry appropriately and is particularly useful if you are returning to the firm about an existing matter.
The allocation of work will nevertheless depend on the relevant expertise, availability, nature of the instructions and any need for coordination with other professionals. An enquiry addressed to one person may therefore be handled with the assistance of a colleague or referred internally to someone better placed to advise. What matters is that you know who is dealing with your enquiry and that the proposed scope of assistance is clear.
Please explain whether you are requesting an initial consultation, a document review, further advice on an ongoing matter or support with a particular transaction. Where time may be important, state any known deadline and the date of relevant notifications. Submitting an enquiry does not stop a legal or administrative time limit from running. The profiles on this page introduce people and roles associated with the firm; they do not constitute a guarantee of immediate availability or acceptance of instructions. The appropriate arrangements, any necessary preliminary checks and the terms of professional engagement should be confirmed before work begins.
What information should I provide when making an enquiry?
Start with a short, chronological outline of the main facts and the result you hope to achieve. It can help to say whether you are approaching the firm as an individual, a business owner, a company representative, a property purchaser or seller, a family member or a party to a dispute. You do not need to know the precise legal terminology: a clear description of what happened, who is involved and what decision or problem you are facing is usually the most helpful starting point.
Dates deserve particular attention. If you have signed an agreement, received a demand, been notified of administrative action or become involved in court proceedings, mention when the relevant event occurred. Explain whether another professional has already been instructed and, if so, the present stage of the matter. For a company enquiry, outline the type of business and the intended transaction. For a property matter, identify its general location and the nature of the issue. For a family or inheritance matter, describe the relevant relationships and circumstances without disclosing unnecessary private details.
Please do not upload identity documents, banking records, medical information or other highly sensitive material through an open contact form unless a suitable method has been agreed. You can simply state that documents are available and ask how they should be provided. Sending an enquiry does not create a professional engagement or suspend any applicable deadline. Following an initial assessment, the firm can identify what documentation may be required, whether the appropriate expertise is available and what further steps might be discussed. This helps keep the first contact focused, proportionate and useful.
