The professional practice described on this website is coordinated by Pedro López Martín-Andino, a practising lawyer registered with the Madrid Bar Association under membership number 62,224. Professional practice is subject to the General Statute of the Spanish Legal Profession, the Spanish Legal Profession’s Code of Conduct and other applicable professional rules, available on the websites of the General Council of Spanish Lawyers and the Madrid Bar Association.

Information about practice areas and professional experience describes the firm’s activities and does not guarantee an outcome in any matter. Each engagement remains subject to the applicable requirements of independence, professional confidentiality, diligence and prevention of conflicts of interest.

Purpose of the website and terms of use

This website provides information about the firm, its practice areas and its professional services. Access is free, apart from any internet connection charges payable by the user. The website must be used lawfully and without infringing third-party rights, compromising its security or interfering with its operation.

Users must not introduce or distribute malicious software, attempt unauthorised access to the systems supporting the website, alter its content or cause overload or disruption. The website and its published contact details must not be used to impersonate others or send unlawful communications.

When sending information, users should ensure that it is accurate and relevant to the communication and that they are entitled to act on behalf of any person or entity they represent. The firm may seek clarification to understand an enquiry or verify the authority claimed.

This corporate website provides information about the firm and its practice areas and access to its contact channels. This notice governs use of the website; the terms of any professional engagement are agreed separately. Browsing does not constitute engagement of the firm or consent to the processing of personal data.

Users must not circumvent security measures, deploy automated tools that compromise the website’s availability, or copy or reuse its content in breach of intellectual property rights. These restrictions are subject to uses and exceptions permitted by applicable law.

Information and professional engagement

The content is provided for information only and does not constitute legal advice on any particular situation. The application of the law depends on the circumstances of each matter. Published information does not replace individual legal analysis and professional advice.

Browsing the website or submitting an enquiry does not, in itself, constitute acceptance of an instruction or establish a lawyer-client relationship. Services require the firm’s acceptance of the matter, following conflict checks and agreement on the terms of engagement. Until then, please limit initial communications to the information needed to assess your enquiry and avoid sending particularly sensitive documents.

Publications, service descriptions and references to legislation must be read in context and with regard to their date. Legislative changes and new judicial or administrative decisions may affect the accuracy or scope of previously published information. Specific advice should be obtained before making decisions based on it.

Sending documents unsolicited or mentioning a deadline in an enquiry does not oblige the firm to accept the matter, take action or monitor deadlines. Where a deadline is approaching, the person concerned must ensure that instructions have been expressly accepted and that the engagement covers the relevant action. These provisions do not affect any legal or professional obligations applicable to information actually received.

Intellectual property

The website’s text, design, distinctive signs, images and other elements are protected by the rights held by the firm or their respective owners. Access does not transfer those rights. Reproduction, distribution, adaptation or communication to the public requires the relevant owner’s permission, except where permitted by law. You may read the content and share links to it, provided that it is not altered and its origin or any purported association with the firm is not misrepresented.

The firm’s name, logo and other distinctive signs may not be used to present your own or third-party services or suggest sponsorship, collaboration or approval without permission. The website or its content must not be incorporated into another environment in a way that conceals its origin or misleads users about ownership.

Protection applies insofar as each element meets the requirements of the relevant legislation. Third-party materials remain subject to their owners’ rights and terms. If you believe that content infringes your rights, please contact info@martinandino.com, identifying the material and explaining your concern.

Content may be downloaded or printed for personal reference or internal professional use, provided it remains unaltered and attribution and ownership notices are preserved. It must not be resold, distributed commercially or presented as the user’s own work. This permission does not extend to reuse of the logo, images or third-party materials beyond what their rights or licences permit.

External links

Links to third-party websites provide information or access to external services. Their inclusion does not mean that the firm controls their content or operation or has a relationship with their owners. Those websites are subject to their own terms.

Links to this website are permitted provided they do not falsely suggest an association with the firm or accompany misleading information about its practice. A link does not authorise reproduction of content or use of distinctive signs beyond the limits permitted by law.

If a link appears to lead to unlawful content or a security risk, you may notify the firm for assessment. Any action will be taken in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances of which the firm is aware.

References to third-party names, products or services do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation unless expressly stated. Third-party trade marks and other distinctive signs belong to their respective owners.

Operation and liability

The firm seeks to keep information up to date and the website operational, although errors, interruptions and technical incidents may occur. Content may be changed and access temporarily suspended for maintenance, security or updates. Liability relating to the website’s operation and linked content or services is governed by applicable law. Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The firm cannot ensure uninterrupted access or the absence of failures originating in communications networks, users’ devices or third-party services. Users should keep equipment and software reasonably up to date and use appropriate security measures when accessing the internet.

These technical limitations are not a general exclusion of liability. Any damage will be assessed by reference to its cause, the parties’ conduct and applicable law. Professional services and the associated liability are governed by the relevant engagement and the profession’s mandatory rules.

Proportionate security measures may be taken to restrict access that threatens the systems or breaches these terms. Such measures will respect applicable rights and do not constitute a power to impose penalties or an automatic exclusion of liability.

Governing law and jurisdiction

This notice is governed by Spanish law. Any disputes are subject to the courts having jurisdiction under the applicable rules, including mandatory provisions on consumer protection and jurisdiction.

This notice is available in Spanish and English, with both versions expressing the same terms. If an interpretative discrepancy arises, the Spanish version will serve as the reference, without restricting rights under mandatory law. References to Spanish institutions, procedures and legislation are to be understood in their Spanish legal context.

Updates

The firm may update this notice to reflect changes in the law or the operation of the website. The current version will be available on this page, showing its update date.

Changes apply to website use from publication and do not, by themselves, change previously agreed professional engagements. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Questions about this notice or the website can be sent through the contact channels stated above.

The website’s configuration, design and content may change to reflect developments in the firm’s practice or technical requirements. Any service-specific terms apply to that service without overriding mandatory legal safeguards. Failure to exercise a right immediately does not constitute a waiver.
