Spanish lawyers (abogados) are regulated in their professional
practice by the General Rules for Lawyers (Estatuto General de la
Abogacía Española) and the Spanish Lawyers Code of Conduct (Código
Deontológico de la Abogacía Española) which is based on the
European Code Of Conduct (Código Deontológico Europeo). Apart from
the above, Spanish Lawyers (abogados) are subject to other
provisions such as the Organic Law of the Judicial Power (Ley
Orgánica del Poder Judicial). They are also subject to provisions
which may be issued from time to time by the local bar association
of the bar they practice at. In Madrid, such relevant provisions
are, among others, the Code Governing Publicity of Lawyers of the
Madrid Bar Association (Código Regulador de la Publicidad de los
Abogados del Colegio de Madrid), and the Disciplinary Regulation
(Reglamento del Procedimiento Disciplinario). All of these
rules also apply, mutatis mutandi, to any non-Spanish lawyers
legally practising law in Spain .
In order to be allowed to practise law, Spanish lawyers (abogados)
must be registered with the Bar Association of their local
jurisdiction in Spain.
The regulatory provisions referred to above are available through
any of the Spanish Bar Associations, including the Madrid Bar
Association.
