Frequently asked questions

Your questions,
answered

If your question is not here, write to us. We reply within the same working day.

Ours covers commercial, civil, criminal, employment, tax and procedural law, both in advisory work and in conducting court proceedings. We act for companies and for individuals, and the approach does not change: look at the specific case and propose the most effective route, which is not always the longest one.

Because a good share of the proceedings affecting a company or an estate are heard in the Madrid courts, and knowing the approach of each chamber shows in the strategy. On top of that, you can deal with the matter in person whenever that is what it takes.

Before the problem grows. Taking advice from the outset means evidence is preserved, deadlines are met and the strategy is chosen with room to manoeuvre. By the time a matter arrives already in court, the options are fewer and they cost more.

In our case, three specific things: your matter is handled by a lawyer with a name and a face from day one, the fee is fixed before we start, and we work in Spanish and in English. No file is passed from hand to hand and no unexpected invoices appear.

The seven we work in: corporate and commercial, civil and succession, criminal with a focus on business crime, employment, tax, litigation and immigration. Matters that call for it bring in several areas, although your point of contact does not change.

It depends on the type of matter and how complex it is, which is why we do not publish fixed rates. We carry out an initial assessment of the case and give you a detailed written quote before we start, so that you know what you are committing to.

Yes, and it makes up a significant part of what we do. We provide ongoing cover in commercial, employment and tax matters: reviewing contracts, acting as company secretary, corporate transactions and defence in proceedings. The aim is to prevent the dispute, not only to litigate it.

Having a straight opinion on the routes open to you and on what each one costs, including not litigating at all. A rigorous diagnosis at the outset saves more than any discount on fees.

We review the documents, set out the possible routes with their deadlines and their risks, and detail what each one costs. If you decide to go ahead, a named lawyer runs the matter and keeps you informed at every stage, without you having to chase us for news.

Fill in the form or call +34 911 923 480. We reply within the same working day: we carry out an initial assessment of the matter and, where appropriate, arrange a meeting at the office on Calle de Alcalá or by video call.

about the firm

A law firm in Madrid

Practising law calls for a genuine, deep commitment to your clients. That is why the founders of this firm decided to leave their professional relationships with other firms behind and set up their own. Broad and successful careers in legal advisory work were left behind them. We wanted to found a law firm in Madrid that put clients, and the individual and unique experience of each one of them, at the centre of everything we do each day.

Escalera & Tuset was founded in 2013, out of the initiative of two young entrepreneurial lawyers, José Alfredo (Pepe) Domínguez Tuset and Julio Escalera García, to launch a joint project after a distinguished professional career in legal advice and in running court proceedings at several firms headquartered in Madrid but working nationally and internationally.

Many years on, we can look at what we have built with a broad smile. Today, more than ever, the firm works by and for its clients in a fully personal way. Yes, we call them clients, but our fundamental idea is that they are people, each with their own circumstances and their own specific needs. What sets this Madrid law firm apart is not only the knowledge of the law it has built up but, above all, the personal attention it gives.

The firm stands out for that attention, for being available and for staying close to the client, qualities that are the pillars the firm is built on. Getting things resolved is a guiding principle for the lawyers who make it up, and for our clients the priority is human, personal attention to the matter entrusted to us.

Alongside that closeness comes an international outlook: we work in Spanish and in English, and we handle matters with a cross-border element, from assisting foreign companies setting up here to shipping and transport litigation.

Escalera & Tuset is not just another law firm: it is a place where ideas, challenges and business and legal projects are created, and where direct, joint involvement is possible. There is scope for us to take part in creating and developing your project, a startup or a newly incorporated company, not only by giving legal advice but by forming an integral part of it through an arrangement to be agreed between the parties, depending on the business model, provided that it is compatible with professional independence and creates no conflict of interest.

A firm of specialist lawyers

One of the priorities of the firm is specialising in different sectors of the economy, which translates into adapting to new legal challenges and putting in place solutions tailored to the legal position of each client.

That is why this Madrid law firm specialises in cross-cutting advice to large and medium-sized companies, to SMEs and startups and to individuals, while giving particular weight to the legal specialisation of each business area involved and analysing the market in which they offer their products or provide their services. We form part of the value chain of the client: we identify where we can help and we understand their needs.

All of the above means an effort in preparing our lawyers to meet the market, on the basic premise of quality and study, but with a good understanding of the environment in which the client offers its services. The current economic climate is a complex one, with a mass of legislation across every sector and powers spread among different public authorities, so spotting and anticipating the needs of each sector adds value for our clients.

Does your company need advice on commercial law? At our Madrid law firm you will work with professionals who are experts in company and contract law, in mergers and acquisitions, in entrepreneurship and the development of startups, or in intellectual and industrial property. That is our other great added value: specialisation and a personal approach.

The same goes for litigation. Are you looking for advice in civil, criminal, administrative, contentious, employment or insolvency matters? We will take it on. Are you looking for legal support in international taxation, private wealth planning or tax litigation? We will take it on. Are you looking for help with international trade, international transport or international litigation? We will take that on too.
