Do you need a lawyer to claim a debt in Spain?

General information only, not legal advice.

Payment order petition

You can file the initial petition yourself, without lawyer or procurador.

If the amount exceeds 2,000 euros, the debtor's opposition and enforcement both require lawyer and procurador.

As a rule a lawyer and procurador are required above 2,000 euros, and always in ordinary proceedings.

Legal basis. Arts. 23, 31, 539 and 814.2 LEC
