Miguel Ángel Álvarez Ruiz
CEO and lawyer

Miguel Ángel Álvarez Ruiz is an independent legal professional with an extensive and well-established career focused on comprehensive legal advice, legal representation in judicial proceedings, and technical consultancy in the fields of real estate, planning, civil, commercial and immigration law. He has developed particular expertise in advising international clients and investors who require highly precise legal and technical assistance for the development, establishment and investment of their projects in Spain.

His professional expertise is underpinned by an in-depth knowledge of Real Estate and Urban Planning Law, enabling him to carry out detailed and comprehensive assessments of the risks and legal status of real estate assets. Before the completion of a purchase, he carefully reviews, audits and verifies compliance with all applicable civil, land registry and urban planning regulations, identifying any potential infringements, administrative issues or encumbrances before the transaction is formalised.

This expertise also extends to the negotiation and drafting of lease agreements, both for residential properties and for non-residential or commercial use. Over the years, he has advised individuals wishing to rent a property in Spain, as well as companies seeking to lease premises or other real estate assets for the purposes of carrying out their business activities.

In the fields of Civil Law and Contract Law, he has developed a multidisciplinary profile encompassing the drafting, negotiation and structuring of complex agreements, as well as legal advice on mortgages, gifts, succession and inheritance matters. His strong negotiation and document management skills enable him to coordinate complex asset-related processes while ensuring maximum legal effectiveness and the protection of his clients’ interests.

His experience in Commercial and Corporate Law includes ongoing legal consultancy for both Spanish companies and foreign businesses and entrepreneurs seeking to establish or expand their economic activities in Spain. Miguel Ángel advises throughout the entire corporate lifecycle, from the incorporation of companies and the drafting of tailored articles of association to the management of day-to-day corporate matters, restructurings, and company dissolution and liquidation processes.

In the field of litigation and procedural law, he has extensive experience in the legal representation of clients in both civil and commercial proceedings. His work encompasses the initial technical assessment of each case, the development of a procedural strategy together with the client, and direct representation and advocacy before the courts.

His solid academic and practical background is supported by his experience preparing for the highly competitive Spanish Notarial examinations, as well as a range of specialised studies and courses, including the Specialist Course in Urban Planning Law awarded by the FYDU Foundation. He is also officially accredited as a Real Estate Credit Expert (Level II). These qualifications complement his Law Degree and his Master’s Degree in Legal Practice from the University of Seville.

Finally, in recent years, he has developed and consolidated a particularly relevant specialisation in Immigration Law, providing comprehensive legal advice to foreign nationals, investors, professionals, entrepreneurs and families wishing to establish themselves in Spain. His experience includes advising on and managing the various administrative procedures relating to residence and legal status in Spain, as well as assessing the most suitable legal options according to each client’s personal, professional and financial circumstances.

This specialisation, closely connected to his regular work with international clients, enables him to provide comprehensive legal assistance that combines his knowledge of Immigration Law with his experience in real estate, civil and commercial matters. This is particularly valuable where relocation to Spain is linked to an investment project, property acquisition, entrepreneurial venture or the establishment and development of a business activity.
