Frequently Asked Questions to the OTIS Team

    Read relevant information here and feel free to contact us if you want to know more.

    I want to buy a house in Spain – where do I start?
    Are you thinking about purchasing a vocational home or second house in Spain? If so, hire an expert. Our specialists can help you as they have knowledge of Spanish laws and regulations and the tax consequences.
    If you decide to rent a house, it is also advisable to have the rental contract checked by an expert in rental law. This way you will avoid problems and possible conflicts with the landlord.
    I would like to hire staff in my Spanish company – what do I need to take into account?
    If you have set up a company in Spain and are going to hire staff, you should be aware that Spanish labour law is quite different from Dutch labour law. There are, for example, important differences in the types of employment contracts, the probationary period, the competition clause, wage remuneration, sickness regulations and the notice period.
    In addition to the Spanish labour law, a collective agreement is almost always applied, which deviates from the law on some points.
    Taking into account the Spanish system, we can draw up an employment contract for you in accordance with Spanish law and taking into consideration the working conditions that apply in the Netherlands. In this way, working conditions can be harmonised to a certain extent.
    We can also take care of payroll administration in Spain.
    It is important that you are always well advised and assisted by Dutch-speaking lawyers specialised in Spanish labour law.
    How can I start a legal claim against a debtor? What should I do if I have been sued in court?
    Whether you intend to claim payment of a debt in court, or you have been sued and must appear in court, you will need the appropriate legal advice to enable you to enforce your claims, either as a creditor or as a debtor. Our team of specialists has extensive experience in the field of litigation in Spain and, therefore, can assist you in any legal matter that arises so that you are advised at all times and are aware of the rights you are entitled to by law.
    Do I have to offer the same working conditions to all my employees?
    Your staff is an essential part of your organisation. Therefore, it is very important to take good care of them. For all your questions regarding Spanish working conditions, you can contact our experienced labour law specialists. They will be happy to assist you in order to reach solid agreements and to turn them into transparent Spanish employment contracts.
    If you wish, we can take into account the employment conditions that apply in the Netherlands regarding your staff in Spain, so that the employment conditions are harmonised as far as possible.
