From One Small Office to a Nationwide Benchmark

In 1995, Andalusian attorney Miguel Manzanares opened a two-room practice in Alhaurín el Grande to help foreign buyers make sense of Spanish property law. Word travelled fast. Within two years, a Marbella branch followed; within a decade, the firm was advising clients from London to Dubai. Today Manzanares Lawyers is recognised as an international law firm in Spain, trusted by more than 28 000 homeowners, investors and expats who want their legal matters handled—no drama, no jargon, no surprises.
