About Contract Drafting in Spain
Contract drafting means a lawyer writes a contract from scratch so that it fits your deal and works under Spanish law. People search for it as contract drafting, drafting a contract, contract writing, redacción de contratos or a contract in English and Spanish (a bilingual contract). It is used by business owners, freelancers, landlords and private people in Spain who need a document that suits their own situation instead of a standard form. The work is done by English-speaking registered lawyers.
Which contracts are drafted
The range is wide. Typical examples are agreements with suppliers, distributors, agents and consultants, partnership and joint venture agreements, loan and security agreements, and contracts for the sale of goods or services. Some have their own page: employment contracts, lease agreements and non-disclosure agreements.
How drafting usually works
- A first conversation about what the contract is for, who the parties are and what you want to achieve.
- A look at the risks, especially when the other party or the deal is international.
- A draft in English, Spanish or both, sent to you for comments.
- Changes after your comments or after the other side replies, until the text is ready to sign.
Bilingual contracts
When the parties speak different languages, the contract is often written in two columns or two versions. A good bilingual contract states which version prevails if the two differ. The lawyer who drafts it can keep the wording consistent in both languages.
Questions and answers
What is the difference between drafting and review?
Drafting creates a new contract. A contract review checks a text that already exists, for example one sent by the other side.
What does the lawyer need from me?
Usually the names of the parties, a description of the deal, the main commercial terms and any papers already agreed, such as emails or a draft.
Does every contract have to go before a notary?
No. Many ordinary agreements are made in private. Some transactions, such as the transfer of property, are normally formalised in a public deed before a notary.
Can the contract be only in English?
Often yes. If it may later be used before a Spanish court or office, a Spanish version or a translation is usually needed, so many people choose a bilingual text from the start.
What if the contract is broken later?
That becomes a dispute. See contract disputes and breach of contract.

Ask for this lawyer! I rarely leave reviews, but my family and I were genuinely very pleased with her: professional, fast and helpful. We will continue to use her in future, 100%, which I think says it all. Her English is excellent too.

Prompt and to the point, he knew what he was talking about and suggested changes that were useful in establishing a rental agreement for our urbanisation, in perfect English.

— Eric20 Jan 2021 -
The lawyer is very professional and has helped me a lot since the company was set up, right through to today. I would recommend her.
— Mike10 Apr 2020 -
I had a very effective attorney, who listened to me and advised me well on which legal steps to take. He answered my questions about the case and explained the details so that I understood better. All of it was done by text and e-mail, which seemed fairly efficient. I would have liked to meet him once, and sometimes I waited for an answer, but I know he is very busy with his work. I was very satisfied with the result.
— James31 Mar 2020 -
The lawyer was so amazingly helpful, assisting me remotely while I was in Haiti and in person when I visited Spain. She has a fantastic personal manner and is super approachable, her English is flawless, and I would 100% use her again for future legal advice in Spain.
