Commercial and Corporate Law

As a corporate law firm Spain relies on for critical decisions, we see a pattern: most companies call a lawyer when an issue is already on the table. We work the other way around: ensuring your corporate structure is soundly built before you need it, so you can operate smoothly, scale with order, and make decisions with your legal framework fully resolved.

Most corporate issues do not come out of nowhere; they arise when the structure was not built to absorb them. Sometimes it is a shareholders’ agreement that was never signed. Other times, it is a board of directors that became too small for the growth of the business. Often, articles of association were drafted without anticipating the transaction that needs to close today. When an issue arises, fixing it costs time, money, and credibility with partners, financial institutions, and counterparties. That is why we act in advance: so that when the crucial decision arrives, the legal answer is already in place.

Ongoing corporate and commercial legal advisory

We manage your company’s corporate life with the same meticulous care for day-to-day operations as for high-stakes matters: how the group is structured, who holds decision-making power and under what rules, and how the board is governed. We draft the articles of association and shareholders’ agreements that sustain those relationships, structure capital transactions, and shape the commercial contracts that drive the business every day.

Tell us how your company is currently structured and where you want to take it; we will ensure your legal foundation is built to match your ambition.

What we cover in Corporate and Commercial Law

We advise business owners restructuring family group holdings, companies preparing for the entry of a new partner, boards seeking agreements that anticipate disputes before they happen, and businesses aligning their corporate governance ahead of a future transaction.

Every corporate structure requires a tailored strategy. Commercial law does not work in isolation: across capital operations, corporate governance, and commercial contracting, success depends on aligning legal, tax, and financial factors seamlessly.

The best advisor is not the largest,
but the one who knows you best.

The advantage of a trusted long-term advisor

In corporate and commercial law, the benefit of a retained advisor is simple: when a pivotal decision arrives—a transaction, a succession, or a major negotiation—they already know your business inside and out, without having to start from scratch.

RLD has served for over 35 years as a corporate law firm Spain trusts, advising Spanish companies and family business groups. Our clients are business families who integrate RLD into their corporate ecosystem from incorporation to succession, guiding them through every critical milestone in the business life cycle.
