Becoming a lawyer in Spain is a rather straightforward process which
depends upon meeting a set of prerequisites, educational requirements
and professional duties.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites are three: the first is being a Spanish national or a
national of another EU Member State or of a country that is a party to
the 1992 Agreement creating the European Economic Area; the se-
cond is to be of age, which means having at least 18 years old and not
being mentally incapacitated. The third one is not being disqualified
for any reason from practicing as a lawyer, which implies not having a
prior criminal record and not being in a situation of incompatibility
with the exercise of the profession.
As for the educational requirements, it is capital to have a law de-
gree, whether obtained in Spain or in another country that is part of
the European Union or with which Spain has entered into an agree-
ment. Under the Lawyers’ Statute, lawyers from other countries may
provide professional services in Spain in accordance with the applica-
ble legislation, which distinguishes between two different groups:
Nationals of EU Member States and, under the Agreement creat-
ing the European Economic Area signed in Oporto on 2 May
1992 and ratified by Spain on 26 November 1993, nationals of the
EEA States. In accordance with the principle of free circulation of
persons and services in the Member States, there are at present
various different alternatives:
The right to practice for an indefinite period with the qualifica-
tion obtained in the country of origin, with the possibility of
incorporation into the profession after three years’ effective
and regular practice.
Recognition of the professional qualification obtained in the
country of origin, recognizing the right to practice on the same
terms as holders of the Spanish qualification.
Occasional provision of professional services using the quali-
fication obtained in the country of origin.
