The firm launches its fifth Spanish office, bringing its multilingual, client-focused legal model to the Balearics.
Palma de Mallorca, 17 May 2025 –Franke & de la Fuente, a law firm specialised in property transactions, tax, and immigration services for international clients, officially opened its new office in Palma de Mallorca, marking its fifth location in Spain. The event gathered leading professionals from the real estate sector, strategic partners and specialised media.
With a strong track record on the Costa del Sol—where the firm has handled thousands of legal transactions for international buyers—Franke & de la Fuente now brings its highly specialised, multilingual, and internationally oriented legal model to the Balearic Islands.
“Palma was the natural next step. We want to offer here the same blend of legal safety, human focus, and international experience that made our firm grow on the Costa del Sol,” said Peter Franke, founding partner.
The firm specialises in real estate conveyancing, international tax, immigration, and legal services for clients relocating to live or invest in Spain. Its approach combines legal precision, practical guidance, and full-service support from reservation to residency or long-term structuring.
“For us, building a top-tier legal team is essential. We look for multilingual profiles with international experience and the ability to respond quickly in complex scenarios,” said Miguel Ángel de la Fuente, founding partner and investment advisor.
Franke & de la Fuente works in more than ten languages, including sign language, reaffirming its commitment to inclusion, diversity, and accessibility.
“This new office brings us closer to clients who choose Mallorca not just as a destination, but as a place to live, invest or launch a business. We offer real experience in a market where the international factor is key,” added Francesca Pienariu, CEO of the Estepona office.
According to data from Spain’s Notarial Council and the National Statistics Institute (INE), property purchases by foreigners in the Balearics have increased by over 30% in the last two years, led by German, Swedish, British and Dutch buyers.
“International buyers need more than technical support. They want professionals who can explain the local mindset—especially in tax matters. That expertise has been a key part of our growth,” noted Julián de la Fuente, founding partner and specialist in corporate and international tax law.
The firm has also launched a legal training programme for real estate professionals. In just one year, it has hosted four events on the Costa del Sol and trained over 100 agents in legal, tax and immigration topics.
“We’ve always grown by collaborating with the industry—through open legal events and a strong digital presence. In Palma, we’ll keep driving that agile and transparent model,” concluded Manuel Soriano, Marketing Director.
Franke & de la Fuente’s arrival in Palma marks more than just the expansion of a consolidated law firm. It reflects a broader trend: more and more international buyers are not coming just to retire or holiday. They’re coming to live, work, and build long-term roots. And the legal sector is evolving to meet them.
