Your client's matter is in Fuerteventura.
Your office is not.
Local counsel in Fuerteventura for firms in the UK, Italy and mainland Spain: hearings, filings and errands before the courts of Puerto del Rosario. Over twenty years of practice in those courtrooms.
What I cover
Hearings and appearances
Any jurisdiction: trials, interim measures, enforcement, inspection of court files. With the papers read beforehand, not opened at the courtroom door.
Criminal work
Statements, assistance to detainees and custody hearings.
Court filings and follow-up
Filings, letters rogatory, collecting certified copies, chasing a procedure that has gone quiet at the registry.
Outside the courthouse
Notary, Land Registry, town hall, checking a property on the ground. What takes a flight from London takes me a morning.
How it works
- 1You send the instructionBy email, with the file and the listing. If a deadline is tight, say so in the first line.
- 2Answer the same dayI confirm or I tell you I cannot, rather than leaving you waiting. A timely no is worth more than a doubtful yes.
- 3Fixed fee agreed firstYou know the cost before I move, and it is invoiced to your firm.
- 4Written report that dayWhat happened, what the judge said, what was listed next and what I would do now.
Fees
From €120 per appearance, plus IGIC. The amount depends on the type of hearing and whether there is a file to study; I confirm it before accepting the instruction.
Long journeys within the island and adjournments are flagged in advance. Invoiced to your firm, with Canary IGIC.
Where I go
The Puerto del Rosario judicial district, which covers the whole of Fuerteventura, from Corralejo to Morro Jable.
Two or three days' notice is usually enough. If it is for tomorrow, ask anyway. And where I cannot go, do not worry: I may well have a trusted contact for you.
Send the listing and you will hear from me today
Date, court, procedure number and what you need. That is enough for me to say whether I can do it and what it costs.
