Practice Areas
Integrated legal framing, from foundational disciplines to the specificity of Vine and Wine Law.
Convergence: These Fields as the Basis of “Vine Law”
Each of these areas is autonomous and fully applicable beyond the wine sector. It is from this base — property rights, obligations, EU funds, administrative law, compliance, civil, commercial, employment, succession, enforcement and sanctions law — that focused legal work for vineyards, wine and the companies that produce it is consistently built.
Sector-specific and complementary structure
Each page develops its own area autonomously while preserving an integrated view of the sector and the legal foundations that support it.
Area Property Rights: The Architecture of Any Estate
Property rights are the organisational base of any immovable estate: ownership, co-ownership, easements, usufructs, leases and surface rights.
We clarify and structure title to land, buildings and other assets.
We configure rights of use, rights of way, water capture easements, usufructs and other encumbrances.
We work to prevent neighbour disputes and obstacles to future investment, and we also intervene judicially when resolution is required.
This patrimonial base is essential in multiple settings — urban, rural and corporate — and, when applied to the wine sector, provides the legal foundation on which “vine law” is organised.
Area Obligations and Contracts: The Language of Legal Relationships
The law of obligations lies at the centre of everyday legal life: sale and purchase contracts, service agreements, consortia, partnerships, guarantees and other binding arrangements.
We design, review and adjust contracts to the concrete needs of the parties.
We structure clauses on liability, time limits, guarantees and dispute-resolution mechanisms.
We seek contractual solutions that are clear and that reduce zones of uncertainty.
This contractual matrix applies across all sectors and, when translated into the wine field, coherently supports relationships with suppliers, distributors, partners and clients.
Area EU Funds: Public Funding Law
EU funds and other forms of public support are instruments of economic policy that require legal rigour throughout the project cycle.
We interpret regulations and calls for proposals.
We assist in the review and negotiation of funding agreements.
We follow the legal and contractual execution of projects, their amendments and closure.
This competence is transversal to different types of investment and sectors. In the wine sector, it translates into the capacity to integrate public funding mechanisms into medium and long-term planning with legal certainty.
Area Administrative Law: Structured Relations with Public Authorities
Administrative law governs the action of public authorities and regulators, as well as the position of private parties before them.
We assist with licences, authorisations, inspections and sanctioning procedures.
We intervene in administrative proceedings, both pre-litigation and contentious.
We analyse administrative acts and the available avenues of challenge.
This experience is fundamental in any regulated sector. In the wine context, it allows a coherent framing of relations with municipalities, environmental entities and sector-specific regulators.
Area Regulatory Compliance: Systems of Compliance and Control
Regulatory compliance is the internal organisation of processes and procedures to ensure observance of the law and regulation.
We map the legal obligations applicable to each organisation.
We design internal procedures, policies and records.
We prepare response plans for inspections and audits.
It is an independent and transversal working method. When applied to the wine sector, it turns a dispersed body of sector rules into consistent internal systems of risk prevention and added value.
Area Civil Law: The General Framework of Private Relationships
Civil law is the broad reference framework of private relationships: persons, assets, contracts, civil liability, family and succession.
We assist in matters of civil liability arising from damage and breach.
We structure contracts and guarantees within the civil sphere.
We analyse the legal effects of personal and business decisions.
This general framework always precedes specialisation. In the wine sector, it is from this basis that solutions are adapted to the specificities of the estate, the owning family and relations with third parties.
Area Commercial Law: Organisation and Life of Businesses
Commercial law governs the activity of entrepreneurs, companies and business transactions in the market.
We advise on the incorporation, transformation and reorganisation of companies, groups, partnerships and on the safest structure to implement the parties’ intentions.
We draft and review constitutional documents and shareholders’ agreements.
We structure commercial contracts, including distribution, agency and joint ventures.
This experience is central to any business. In the wine sector, it is the basis for thinking of the wine company as a commercial entity articulated with property, brand and distribution channels.
Area Employment Law: The Structure of Labour Relations
Employment law governs the relationship between employers and workers in every sector.
We prepare and review employment agreements and service contracts.
We advise on working-time organisation, seasonal regimes and team management.
We follow disciplinary procedures and termination of contracts.
This discipline is autonomous and essential in any organisation with workers. In the wine context, it supports the legally sound management of vineyard, winery, wine tourism and administrative teams.
Area Succession Law: Patrimonial Continuity
Succession law organises the transmission of assets between generations.
We structure succession plans, wills and gifts in accordance with the legal framework.
We analyse the impact of succession on the organisation of immovable assets and shareholdings.
We assist in partition, seeking to clarify rights and expectations in advance as well as in the partition itself, whether judicial or out of court.
This dimension is critical in any family estate. When applied to wine properties and companies, it gives legal form to the generational continuity at the centre of “vine law”.
Area Enforcement Proceedings and Judicial Debt Recovery
Enforcement proceedings are the formal instrument for recovering recognised credits.
We assess the existence of an enforceable title and associated guarantees, and we also assist in their recognition.
We prepare and follow declaratory actions and the corresponding enforcement proceedings.
We advise on preventive mechanisms for credit protection.
This competence is transversal: any creditor may need to enforce credits in different contexts. In the wine sector, it is a natural extension of contractual and commercial work in the management of default.
Area Regulatory Sanctions Law
Regulatory sanctions law is grounded in the general principles of administrative offences and sanctioning administrative law.
We assist in administrative offence proceedings initiated by regulatory entities.
We analyse inspection reports, notices and decisions, identifying the rights and duties of the entities concerned.
We integrate the sanctions dimension with the design of corrective measures and future prevention.
This practice results from the combination of general sanctions law and knowledge of the sector-specific regulatory framework, acting as a direct bridge between compliance systems and the response to possible punitive action by the Administration.
