About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

We have a team of dedicated specialists providing wealth management advice to wealthy Spanish families operating internationally. This is highly unusual in the Spanish legal sector and leaves us uniquely positioned to deal with all types of private wealth matters.

We advise the key Spanish high net worth families, and most of the high net worth individuals listed in Fortune 500 are clients of Baker McKenzie in Spain. Our client list speaks for itself. Just looking at our ever-growing client base, you can understand why we are considered one of the leading firms of the market.

Thanks to our international network, we have acquired a deep knowledge of foreign tax systems. Therefore, we are able to provide clients with local advice on matters related to other countries. For instance, we have extensive experience in UK Tax System and Common Law entities as Trusts or Private Foundations.

Our close relationship with our clients enables us to provide solutions and a practical approach to their problems. We don´t prepare never-ending reports- we go straight to the point.

Baker McKenzie is one of the founding trustees of the Tax and Competitiveness Foundation ("Fundación Impuestos y Competitividad") created to promote the improvement of the Spanish tax laws in all areas, including Wealth Management. Click here for more information.
