Carmen Calvo

UK solicitor, dealing with Spanish law

Dealing with two legal systems (and two languages) can be complex and frustrating. Unless you’re able to move easily between, and get results in, both…

I’m Carmen, and it’s my job to do that for you. I’m qualified in both English and Spanish law and am bilingual. Raised and educated in Spain, I now have over 20 years’ professional legal experience in the UK.

Who I help and how

I work with companies and individuals who need legal advice on English, Spanish and international law.

Some of my clients live or work in the UK (whether Spanish, British or other citizens), and hire me for help with a legal issue in Spain. Other clients are international clients, specially from Spain and Spanish speaking countries, and have issues and need assistance with English law.

I’m based in Sussex – but have clients from across the UK and am happy to work with you by phone and email if we can’t meet in person.

In particular, I can help with:

  • Buying and selling Spanish property
  • Spanish probate, Spanish Wills and power of attorneys
  • Spanish and English business law and debt recovery
  • Spanish visas and NIE certificates
  • Personal injury and accident claims

Need help with something else? Contact me to find out if I can help (and if I can’t, I’ll refer you to someone who can).

“It was a pleasure working with you and yours will certainly be the first number we would ring for anything else in Spain.”

What to expect

The first step is to book your free 30 minute consultation. We can do this by phone, online or in person in my Brighton office, or a convenient location.

During that session, I’ll take time to understand your case and what you want to achieve. I’ll be able to give you a clear assessment of the possible outcomes, how much it’s likely to cost and how long it might take.

While I can’t always be certain of costs and timescales right at the beginning, I’ll provide my best estimate.

I’ve dealt with 1000s of cases, and so even if I haven’t dealt with one quite like yours before, I’m likely to be able to give you a good idea.

You’ll get a written summary of our conversation, with your next steps set out clearly, so you can easily compare.

Who is Carmen?
About Carmen Calvo
I’m an enthusiastic, straight-talking English and Spanish solicitor, living with my family by the sea in Sussex.

I’ve worked for large London firms, and small local practices in Sussex, on large-scale international deals and private family matters.

Whatever you need help with, I can guarantee this: I’ll handle everything, from our first meeting to the final resolution, with empathy and transparency.

And when I don’t have my head in a legal document? You’ll find me cycling through the Sussex countryside with my children or flying high above it (usually without my children!) as I make good use of my private pilots’ licence.

Whenever you’re ready, I’d love to know how I can help you.

To start that conversation, book your consultation (online, on the phone, in my Brighton office or a convenient location).
