Who we are

A multilingual firm of lawyers and accountants in Marbella.

Welex was built on a deliberate constraint: legal and fiscal advice for international clients in Spain should be handled by people who genuinely work in your language — and by the same team, end to end. The lawyer who answers your first call is the lawyer who signs the contract at the notary, and the accountant who files the resulting tax return sits at the next desk.

Our clients are families relocating from the UK, the Netherlands and Belgium; British buyers acquiring property on the Costa del Sol; small-business owners setting up Spanish companies; and beneficiaries handling cross-border inheritances. We work in English, Spanish and Dutch, every day — not occasionally, not via Google Translate, but properly.

One firm, end to end

Lawyers and accountants under one roof. Property, tax, inheritance and corporate work that fits together — because the same team handles all of it.

Genuinely multilingual

English, Spanish, Dutch. The lawyer assigned to you actually speaks your language — and writes the contracts and tax filings in it.

Twenty years of file-handling

Two decades of acting for international clients on the Costa del Sol. We have seen the edge cases, and we resolve them quietly.

Reachable, named lawyers

Ana Sánchez, Soraya Hoogendijk, and the wider team — named, contactable, and on the matter from first call to closing.

How we help

Property, tax, inheritance, corporate and labour matters — for individuals living between Spain and another country, and for businesses setting up here.

Purchase & sale of property in Spain

Reservation contract through to notary completion — for buyers paying from abroad as well as resident buyers. Due diligence on the property, the seller and the price, plus NIE, money transfer routing and post-completion registration.
