Client story · Philippines → Spain
A structure built for the move.
Tested two years later.
A business owner wanted to relocate to Spain and apply for the Beckham regime while retaining a company in the Philippines.
The challenge was to align the relocation with a genuine qualifying arrangement and change how the business was managed in practice.
- Relocation strategy. We designed and documented the arrangements supporting the required causal connection with the move.
- Real operational changes. A team was appointed in the Philippines and the client stepped back from business decision-making, addressing the risks associated with operating the company from Spain.
- Implementation. We registered the foreign employer for Spanish Social Security and coordinated the application.
Application accepted. Worldwide income protected under the regime.
With the Beckham regime in place, the client's income outside Spain was not taxed under Spain's general rules for the qualifying years. Two years later, a tax inspection examined the underlying structure and did not find simulation in the arrangements reviewed.
Anonymised client matter. The outcome relates to the facts and scope of that review; it is not a guarantee for another structure.
Client story · US LLC owner → Spain
A move to Spain.
A US business retained.
An LLC owner wanted to move to Spain while keeping the existing US structure. Our work focused on whether that structure could fit the client's new circumstances and what needed to be addressed before the move.
The key was understanding the particular LLC and its treatment in Spain, not relying on the US label alone.
- Understand the LLC. We examined the client's particular structure as the starting point for the Spanish analysis.
- Connect both tax systems. Our advice addressed how Spain would interpret the arrangement and the implications for the owner's relocation.
- Build the relocation plan. We advised on retaining the US structure while addressing the tax and operational risks associated with the move.
A lawful structure in place within two months.
We built a structure that let the client keep running the US business from Spain without attracting Spanish corporate tax residency or creating a permanent establishment, following the safeguards we set for day-to-day management of the company.
Anonymised client matter. Retaining a US LLC does not automatically remove Spanish tax or reporting obligations. The outcome depends on the entity and the facts.
In both cases, the outcome depended on getting advice before relocating to Spain, not after arrival. Planning ahead is what made a lawful, defensible structure possible.

What other lawyers and advisers say.
Independent colleagues we work alongside on cross-border matters, sharing their own view of working with Jorge and Law Cappital.
“We worked with Jorge on wealth and tax planning for clients in Cantabria. He helped us optimise the tax treatment of the property sale and reviewed the transaction to rule out any tax contingencies.”
Macarena S.R.R.Director, AESYR & Abogados“I have worked with Jorge for more than 7 years. What stands out is his international outlook and his versatility, adapting not only to tax matters but to other areas of law as well.”
Javier Postigo AguadoPartner, Postigo - Pino“As a criminal defence lawyer, whenever one of my cases involves an immigration issue, we bring in Law Cappital, led by Jorge Lacasa, and they always find the best possible solution. They have already won six appeals for clients whose residence permit was initially refused.”
Carlota Sánchez Pego GarcíaIndependent Criminal Defence LawyerWhat makes our approach different
You should know what you are paying for.
A filing and a strategy engagement solve different needs. We explain the scope before you instruct us.
| Your decision | A filing-only scope | Our strategy & implementation approach |
|---|---|---|
| Which route? | Prepare a route already selected. | Compare viable options and explain the recommendation. |
| What is considered? | The requirements of the specific application. | Coordinate tax, business, Social Security and immigration where relevant. |
| What do I receive? | The agreed application and supporting documents. | A roadmap with scenarios, conditions and an implementation sequence. |
| Who do I speak to? | Depends on the provider and engagement. | Direct contact with the lawyer handling your matter. |
| What happens later? | Work normally ends at the agreed filing milestone. | Identify continuing obligations and agree any ongoing support separately. |
| When do I pay? | Depends on the engagement terms. | Written scope, payment milestones and a clear explanation of refusal or withdrawal terms. |

Before you get in touch
Questions worth asking.
Can you advise me before I decide whether to move?
Yes. A planning engagement can compare scenarios before you commit to a move, company arrangement or residence application.
Can you help if I have already moved?
Yes. Tell us your arrival and activity start dates first, so we can identify any immediate deadlines and define the review needed.
Do I need a full strategy engagement for a single tax filing?
Not necessarily. We scope the work to the question. Where connected issues need a wider review, we explain why and quote for it separately.
Do you guarantee Beckham Law or visa approval?
No. We assess the available route, prepare the supporting case and explain the risks. Any approval-linked fee arrangement is governed by the written engagement terms.
