Directors' Liability Defence

Your personal assets deserve the best defence when you are pursued as a company director.

We will defend your assets against the company, shareholders or creditors.

§ 1

Approach

When you are pursued as a director, what is at stake is your own wealth, and it deserves a defence to match.

A coherent strategy

The company, the shareholders and the creditors can pursue you by different routes, and we will meet them with a single strategy.

Evidence of how you ran the company

We will reconstruct from the accounts, the minutes and the contracts how you managed the company.

Starting with negotiation

We will make the settlement attempt the law requires and, if no agreement is reached, defend you before the commercial court.

§ 2

Engagement

Company directors
We will defend your assets against the company, shareholders or creditors.
€4,000 + VAT
Per court schedule

El importe exacto se cierra en la hoja de encargo antes de pagar, con los gastos previsibles incluidos. Si el encargo se alarga, no pagas más.

Aviso de costas

Este encargo incluye actuación ante los tribunales y, en un pleito, existe riesgo de condena en costas: si el juzgado te quita la razón, puede obligarte a pagar los gastos de la otra parte.

Si te la da, las costas son para ti. Como no dependen de nosotros, preferimos no tenerlas en cuenta: nuestro precio cerrado es el mismo tanto si se gana como si se pierde.

Costs warning

This engagement involves proceedings before the courts and, in litigation, there is a risk of an adverse costs order: if the court finds against you, it may order you to pay the other side's costs.

If it finds for you, the costs are yours. Because they do not depend on us, we prefer to leave them out of the equation: our fixed fee is the same whether the case is won or lost.

§ 3

Process

How the engagement unfolds

Initial Consultation

A 60-minute working session by video call in which we analyse your situation, your specific needs and our ability to help you. We assess whether we can take on the matter and give you the fixed price in advance. You can book it directly through the Google Calendar link on our website and pay €90 by Stripe.

Strategy Memorandum

Document produced once the engagement is accepted, setting out the agreed legal strategy for the matter. It specifies the procedural approach, the main arguments, the evidence to be deployed and the objectives of the proceedings. It is the roadmap for the case and the reference point for any subsequent tactical decision.

Mandatory Pre-Litigation ADR (MASC)

A step required before court proceedings under Organic Law 1/2025 on measures for the efficiency of the Justice Service. Comprises the choice of a reasonable alternative dispute resolution mechanism, suited to the specific case and genuinely aimed at settlement, not merely at satisfying the admissibility requirement.

Statement of Defence (contestación)

Drafting and filing of the defence against the claim brought by the opposing party. Analyses the claimant's pleas, raises the applicable procedural and substantive objections and sets out the client's legal position together with the evidence supporting it. Includes a counterclaim where appropriate.

Pre-Trial Hearing (audiencia previa)

Preparation for and attendance at the pre-trial hearing in ordinary civil proceedings under article 414 of the Spanish Civil Procedure Act: resolution of procedural defects, final definition of the subject matter of the dispute, and the proposal and admission of evidence. This is the step that sets the perimeter of the debate at trial, and where much of the outcome is decided.

Case Monitoring

Ongoing attention to the matter between the main steps: deadline control, procedural or administrative follow-up, response to requests for correction and management of court notifications. The client hears from us each time there is a development in the file, and never has to ask in order to know what is happening.

Trial Hearing (vista)

Preparation for and attendance at the trial hearing: organisation of the evidence, formulation of closing submissions and oral defence of the client's claims before the court. Includes prior analysis of the evidentiary outcome, adjustment of the argumentative strategy and management of the proceedings through to notification of judgment.

Team

Who handles it

David Sánchez Lorenzo, of counsel at PASSAS

I work where economic law meets technology: litigation, contracts and artificial intelligence systems. I am drawn to the ground where the rules are still being written, and I have brought that same rigour to litigation since my first year in practice.

Questions

What people ask before instructing this service

Who can bring a claim against me?

The company, the shareholders or the creditors, each by their own route. We will analyse what you are liable for in your case in the Virtual Consultation, with your documents in front of us.

What if the claim comes from the tax authorities?

That claim follows a different path, and the Tax Disputes service covers it.

From what amount does it fit?

Our fees never exceed 20% of the amount at stake, so this service fits from €20,000.

How much does it cost?

From €4,000 + VAT, through to first-instance judgment. The exact figure is fixed in the engagement letter before you pay.
