Hybrid model: BMC team + local ICAV-registered counsel in Valencia
Commercial and legal diagnostic
We analyse the corporate structure, existing contracts, corporate governance and identified legal risks to produce a situation map and action priorities.
Corporate structure design
We recommend the most efficient structure for each stage of the business: SL, SA, branch of a foreign company, cooperative or joint venture in Valencia, with coordination of fiscal implications.
Contract drafting and negotiation
We draft the commercial contracts the company needs: international distribution, agency, supply, franchise and export contracts, adapted to destination markets and Spanish law.
Support in corporate transactions
We manage the legal aspects of growth transactions: acquisitions, mergers, investor entry, shareholders' agreements and restructurings, with due diligence and closing before the Valencia Mercantile Registry.
The challenge
Valencia and the Valencian Community host a diversified business fabric with a strong export vocation. The agri-food sector — citrus cooperatives, wineries, agricultural produce processors — operates with European distribution networks requiring agency and distribution contracts adapted to EU regulations. The logistics sector at the Port of Valencia manages contractual relationships with shipping companies, terminals and freight forwarders from multiple countries. The ceramics industry in Castellón distributes through subsidiaries and agents in over 180 countries. This export-oriented fabric needs commercial lawyers capable of drafting international distribution contracts, managing foreign investor entry and advising on subsidiary formation in destination markets, with knowledge of Spanish law and international legal standards.
Our solution
BMC serves companies with a presence in Valencia through a hybrid model: a commercial law team based in Madrid with experience in international contracts and corporate transactions, in collaboration with local ICAV-registered counsel D. Fernando Tormo Alcácer (Lawyer, Registration No. 21.XXX, Il·lustre Col·legi de l'Advocacia de València — ICAV) for in-person, notarial and registry proceedings in Valencia. Routine advisory — contracts, due diligence, shareholders' agreements — is handled remotely to the same technical standards as a local office.
Commercial law in Valencia governs the legal relationships of companies in the Valencian business ecosystem — agri-food cooperatives, the Port of Valencia logistics network, the Castellón ceramics industry, and the Valencian family business fabric — under the Spanish Commercial Code, the Companies Act (LSC) and applicable European regulations. The Valencia Mercantile Court has jurisdiction over insolvency proceedings, corporate disputes and unfair competition actions in the province. The Port of Valencia, as the Mediterranean's leading container port, generates a constant flow of commercial legal work in transport, logistics and international trade contracts.
Why Valencian exporting companies need specialised commercial lawyers
The Valencian export-oriented business fabric — citrus cooperatives, ceramics distributors, horticultural producers, port logistics operators — requires commercial legal advisory capable of combining knowledge of Spanish commercial law with the international standards demanded by European distribution networks and foreign investors. A distribution contract for a German citrus importer, a supply contract with an Asian ceramics buyer or a shareholders’ agreement with a UK private equity fund all require different levels of international legal expertise that a generalist regional firm may not provide.
