Yvonne, can you explain to me the reason for founding My Legal PA Associates?
As in the cases above, often I was called in to help resolve issues that many gestors or lawyers would not handle, and I discovered that clients frequently had at least three different professionals giving them advice: an accountant for tax, a lawyer for the property, and a gestor for the residency permit; with all working completely separately and probably not liaising at all with each other.
Furthermore, what happens when the client decided to do some work on their own house? They would then need to find not only an architect but perhaps a technical architect as well. The client could end up having to liaise with four or five independent professionals just for one project. [read more …]
So, you decided to bring different professionals together in-house?
Yes, indeed. My Legal PA Associates is an association of fully qualified professionals who work together, under one organisation, for the benefit of the client.
In addition to our in-house team, we have a number of strategic partners; these are professionals who we trust and have particular skills that we need from time to time.
We also have my network of connections acquired from many years of work experience within such fields as oil exploration, merchant banking, chartered accountancy, law, the media, diplomatic services, real estate, the courts and enforcement agencies, education and due diligence services.
Whilst our main offices are located in Marbella, it is our network of strategic partners and connections that allow us to serve clients anywhere in Spain.
What is your role within the organisation?
I have several roles within the organisation: as a paralegal, I act as the coordinator for the different professionals; as a consultant, I work directly with clients as a mediator and problem solver for cases that cannot be easily resolved and; as the due diligence officer, I handle any due diligence requirements. I am also in charge of growing our network of strategic partners and connections.
What services do you offer in-house at My Legal PA Associates?
Our aim is to support our clients in every aspect of their life in Spain, from the cradle to the grave or if you wish from the registration of a birth to an inheritance, including every step in between.
This leaves our clients free to concentrate on one thing only, enjoying their life in Spain with the confidence that whatever advice or support they need, whether it is for their business or family, whether they are in Marbella or Madrid, they can rely on us as their one-stop provider.
Essentially our core services are:
- Immigration and residency
- Driver and vehicle
- Administration, legal, and property conveyance
- Inheritance, wills, and retirement
- Tax, accounting, and fiscal
- Architecture, topography, and interior design
- Civil and criminal litigation
- Ceremonies /celebrant services
- Relocation
- Real Estate
- Private Investigation services
However, we also tailor our services to the client´s needs, for example, we offer a different package to an entrepreneur, overseas investor or a start-up company to say a young family moving to Spain, or a couple looking to retire here.
