Menorca.law, the Menorca practice of Castell.law
Menorca.law is the Menorca practice of Castell.law (Castell Law & Investments), a Balearic law firm with more than twenty years advising international clients. Our main work in Menorca is property: helping buyers and sellers of villas, country houses and apartments complete safely. Around it, our lawyers handle every other legal matter our clients face on the island.
Property first, and everything else around it
Most of our Menorca clients come to us to buy or sell property. Many then need us again: for a rental licence, a dispute with a builder, a will or a residence permit. Having one firm that knows the client and the property makes each of those steps simpler.
Menorca.law is part of Castell.law, the international side of the Castell group of law firms, which also includes Castell Abogados. We work in English, German and Spanish.
