Quien llega a España desde fuera suele encontrar dos tipos de despacho: el que traduce y el que entiende. El primero te devuelve tus correos en tu idioma; el segundo negocia en alemán, lee un contrato inglés con la lógica del common law y sabe por qué un socio francés espera lo que espera. Nosotros somos del segundo tipo porque nos hemos formado y hemos vivido en la Europa que legisla, no solo en la que aplica.

Para una empresa de fuera de la Unión la pregunta no es si necesita un abogado español, sino uno europeo. Las normas que le afectan, datos, inteligencia artificial, servicios digitales, comercio, se escriben en Bruselas y se aplican igual en Madrid que en Múnich. El Spain Entry Pack resuelve la arquitectura legal de establecerse aquí, filial, sucursal o establecimiento permanente incluidos, con precio publicado.

Todo se hace en remoto, con firma electrónica y justicia electrónica en toda España, así que no hace falta pisar el país para constituir, contratar ni litigar. Y el precio cerrado tiene aquí más valor que en ningún otro sitio: quien está a dos mil kilómetros sabe qué va a pagar antes de firmar. Lo que un inversor europeo revisa en una empresa española, y cómo prepararlo, está en la guía de due diligence legal.

Companies arriving in Spain from abroad tend to meet two kinds of law firm: the one that translates and the one that understands. The first sends your emails back in your language; the second negotiates in German, reads an English contract with common-law logic and knows why a French partner expects what they expect. We are the second kind, because we trained and lived in the Europe that writes the rules, not only in the one that applies them.

For a company outside the EU the question is not whether it needs a Spanish lawyer, but whether it needs a European one. The rules that reach it, data, artificial intelligence, digital services, trade, are written in Brussels and apply the same in Madrid as in Munich. The Spain Entry Pack settles the legal architecture of setting up here, subsidiary, branch or permanent establishment included, at a published price.

Everything runs remotely, with electronic signature and electronic court filing across Spain, so nobody needs to set foot in the country to incorporate, contract or litigate. A fixed price is worth more here than anywhere else: whoever sits two thousand kilometres away knows what they will pay before signing. What a European investor checks in a Spanish company, and how to prepare it, is exactly what Tech Due Diligence delivers.

La práctica internacional de PASSAS se construyó viviendo fuera. Bruselas, Berlín y Viena como ciudades de trabajo, Londres, Florencia y Ginebra como ciudades de estudio, y una formación centrada en derecho de la Unión, comercio internacional y derecho angloamericano. De ahí sale la capacidad de atender en español, inglés, alemán y francés a nivel profesional, con comprensión cultural real y no solo lingüística: el mercado alemán y austriaco es hoy el más activo entre nuestros clientes de fuera.

La lista de países atendidos es larga y variada: Australia, Marruecos, Filipinas, Estados Unidos, Suiza, Reino Unido, Alemania y Francia. Hemos negociado, actuado ante administraciones, notarios y registradores, gestionado expatriaciones, litigado en tribunales españoles para clientes que nunca pisaron el país e incluso comparecido ante instituciones religiosas. Para una empresa de fuera de la Unión con usuarios europeos, EU Data Compliance tiene alcance y precio publicados; para un inversor que evalúa una empresa tecnológica española, Due Diligence Tech entrega el mapa de riesgos en dos semanas.

The international practice of PASSAS was built abroad. Brussels, Berlin and Vienna as cities of work, London, Florence and Geneva as cities of study, and a training centred on EU law, international trade and Anglo-American law. That is where the capacity to work in Spanish, English, German and French at professional level comes from, with real cultural understanding rather than a good dictionary: the German and Austrian market is today the most active among our clients from abroad.

The list of countries served is long and varied: Australia, Morocco, the Philippines, the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. We have negotiated, appeared before public authorities, notaries and registrars, handled expatriation, litigated in Spanish courts for clients who never set foot in the country and even appeared before religious institutions. For a company outside the EU with European users, EU Data Compliance has a published scope and price; for an investor assessing a Spanish technology company, Tech Due Diligence delivers the risk map in two weeks.
