IMMIGRATION LAW
Department exclusively devoted to Private International Law.
Within the globalized society in which we live, legal relationships between individuals subject to different legal systems are more and more frequent. For this reason, our firm adds a department exclusively devoted to legal relationships with at least one foreign element to its broad offer of professional services.
As a legal discipline, Private International Law emanates from two objective premises. On the one hand, the world´s division into different states results in the existence of various jurisdictions, leading to reflect diverse legal realities at a supranational level. On the other hand, this fact fosters legal transboundary actions and businesses by the simple activity of natural and legal persons at that level.
