# Spanish + Scottish Law Practice
Spanish + Scottish Law Practice is a dual-qualified legal firm based in Edinburgh and Valencia, regulated by the Law Society of Scotland, specialising in providing expert advice across both Spanish and Scots law. The firm is uniquely positioned as Scotland's first and only law practice offering comprehensive Spanish legal services "under one roof" with fully-qualified lawyers in both jurisdictions.
The practice serves individuals and companies with cross-border interests between Scotland and Spain, particularly those purchasing property, establishing businesses, or managing estates in either country. Their clientele ranges from Scottish clients investing in Spanish property to Spanish nationals conducting business in Scotland.
What distinguishes Spanish + Scottish Law Practice is their authentic dual expertise. Founder Ignacio Chanza qualified in Scottish Law in 2013 whilst maintaining his Spanish credentials, bringing twenty years of family firm experience from Chanza Abogados (established 1930 in Valencia) to Scotland. This heritage combined with contemporary cross-border knowledge means clients receive culturally informed, legally rigorous advice rather than generic international services. The firm's bilingual capability and understanding of both legal systems' nuances—from Spanish property conveyancing complexities to Scottish inheritance law—eliminates the need for clients to engage multiple firms or navigate translation barriers.
Their approach is evidenced by client testimonials highlighting personalised service and seamless transaction management. By consolidating Spanish and Scottish legal expertise under one partnership, they reduce costs, improve communication, and ensure coordinated advice where transactions span both countries.
