You can schedule your first legal valuation meeting here. Booking is done online. Fee for the first meeting: €350.

The first legal meeting includes an initial assessment of the matter, the identification of its decisive legal points, and an initial guidance on its fit, complexity, and possible course.

No. The initial meeting does not replace a full case review. Its purpose is to provide a preliminary legal assessment, identify the key issues in the matter, and determine if it falls within the firm's practice.

Not always. In complex matters, a sound legal response requires study, documentation, and further analysis. The initial meeting allows for informed guidance based on experience, but it does not replace the comprehensive legal work that some cases require.

It allows the matter to be organized, its main issues identified, and an initial legal opinion offered regarding its legal standing, complexity, and potential course. Where appropriate, it also serves to determine whether a subsequent engagement by the firm is warranted.

Yes. The meeting is treated with full professional confidentiality and also allows the firm to carry out the necessary checks to avoid conflicts of interest before taking on a matter.

Yes. The meeting is held via Zoom and is also designed for international clients, avoiding time zone and payment issues. 

Yes. RRYP Global handles complex cases throughout Spain, with the capacity for legal representation before courts and tribunals anywhere in the country.
