Juleisy

Barcelona on Jul 2026

Cristina gave me all the information from the start, and that gave me security to be able to do the training and the immigration procedures I had to present in Barcelona. She was very clear, direct, honest, and very professional, and the communication was fast and effective whenever I needed information. The process did not take as long as I thought, which in these paperwork topics is really important, and the price felt fair. I was happy with her work, she did not leave me in the air, and later on I would do the nationality process with her too.

Barcelona on Aug 2026

Cristina helped me with the regularization process for my daughter, my wife, and me, and all three were approved. The process in Barcelona took a little bit of time compared to other cities, but everything was very clear, the calls and emails, and she always told me what was missing and where things were in the process. She has been very professional in everything, very direct, and she was always calling me to help me when she sent me an email. I had no problems with her and my experience was very positive.

Marcello

Barcelona on Jul 2026

I started working with Cristina after I was fired, and it was a pretty stressful experience and not pleasant at all. She recommended that I move forward and, above all, she psychologically supported me, honestly I would not have done it without her support. In the end we went through the reconciliation and I won, and the company agreed to pay almost everything we asked for in the claim. The whole thing lasted about three months, she was very transparent, and I have to thank Cristina a lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring employment lawyers in Madrid.

Are there English-speaking employment lawyers in Madrid?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring employment lawyers in Madrid?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
Are these lawyers properly registered in Madrid?
Yes. Practising lawyers must be registered, as colegiado with the local Colegio de Abogados in Spain. It is fine to ask, and a reputable firm will confirm it.
What should I avoid when hiring employment lawyers in Madrid?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later. And never use someone who cannot show the right certification.
How do I explain what I need if my Spanish is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say employment lawyers in Spanish?
In Spanish, employment lawyers are usually called abogados laboralistas. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find employment lawyers I can trust in Madrid?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
