contracts under Spanish law<\/strong> benefit from the stability, predictability and EU alignment of the Spanish legal framework.<\/li>\n<li>Spanish law is fully compatible with the Rome I Regulation, the Vienna CISG and other major international commercial instruments.<\/li>\n<li>Clear governing law, jurisdiction and arbitration clauses are essential to reduce uncertainty and prevent costly disputes.<\/li>\n<li>Choice of Spanish courts or arbitration seats such as Madrid and Valencia offers efficient enforcement across the EU.<\/li>\n<li>Contracts with UK parties now require careful post-Brexit drafting to preserve straightforward enforcement.<\/li>\n<li>Working with specialist legal counsel is what turns a well-drafted contract into a genuinely enforceable one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Why cross-border contracting under Spanish law matters in 2026<\/h2>\n\n<p>Foreign businesses selling into Spain, and Spanish businesses selling abroad, routinely need contracts that bridge two or more legal systems.<\/p>\n\n<p>The framework governing <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong> is well developed, EU-harmonised and predictable, and it delivers a strong balance between commercial flexibility and legal certainty.<\/p>\n\n<p>This guide sets out how <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong> work in practice, from applicable law and forum selection to enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitration awards.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The choice of law question<\/h2>\n\n<p>Under the Rome I Regulation, parties to a commercial contract are free to choose the governing law.<\/p>\n\n<p>Where no choice is expressed, the default rule points to the law of the country with which the contract is most closely connected, usually the seller&#8217;s or service provider&#8217;s residence.<\/p>\n\n<p>Spanish courts respect express choice of law clauses in <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong>, subject only to the mandatory rules of Spanish public policy.<\/p>\n\n<p>Contracts involving consumers or employees are subject to additional protective rules that override the parties&#8217; choice where the connection to Spain is significant.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Choice of forum and enforcement of judgments<\/h2>\n\n<p>Jurisdiction across the European Union is governed by the Brussels Ia Regulation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Judgments from EU member states benefit from automatic recognition and enforcement in Spain, with no need for a separate exequatur procedure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Contracts involving UK counterparties now fall under the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements where the clause is exclusive, and enforcement runs through a lighter but still-formal procedure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our detailed guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/uk-spain-cross-border-legal-disputes\/\">UK Spain cross-border legal disputes and mediation<\/a> covers the practical steps and timelines.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG)<\/h2>\n\n<p>Spain is a party to the Vienna CISG, which applies by default to international sales of goods between businesses located in contracting states.<\/p>\n\n<p>The CISG covers formation of the contract, obligations of the seller and buyer, remedies for breach and passing of risk.<\/p>\n\n<p>Parties may opt out of the CISG in writing, and many prefer to do so where domestic law offers stronger remedies for their specific situation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Understanding the interaction between the CISG and the Spanish Civil Code is essential when drafting sales agreements as part of <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Formal validity, language and signing formalities<\/h2>\n\n<p>Spanish law does not require international contracts to be signed in Spanish.<\/p>\n\n<p>Where litigation or enforcement in Spain is anticipated, a certified Spanish translation is advisable at the signing stage.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our note on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/apostille-sworn-translation-spain\/\">apostille and sworn translation in Spain<\/a> covers the standards recognised by Spanish courts and notaries.<\/p>\n\n<p>Contracts requiring notarial execution should be signed before a Spanish notary or, alternatively, before a foreign notary with subsequent apostille for use in Spain.<\/p>\n\n<p>Contracts involving foreign entities often require a Spanish counterpart with power of attorney to execute the deed on behalf of the non-resident party, as described in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/power-of-attorney-spain\/\">powers of attorney in Spain for non-residents<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Commercial agency and distribution contracts<\/h2>\n\n<p>Spanish law imposes mandatory protections for commercial agents under Law 12\/1992, which implements the EU Commercial Agents Directive.<\/p>\n\n<p>Agents may claim a goodwill indemnity at termination, typically calculated as up to one year&#8217;s average commission over the previous five years.<\/p>\n\n<p>Distribution agreements are less heavily regulated but attract growing case-law protection, particularly on notice periods and post-termination obligations.<\/p>\n\n<p>Franchise arrangements have their own specific framework, described in our note on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/franchise-agreements-spain\/\">franchise agreements in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Drafting these agreements as part of <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong> requires careful alignment with the mandatory Spanish protections.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Non-competition and confidentiality clauses<\/h2>\n\n<p>Post-contractual non-competition clauses in commercial contracts must be limited in duration, territory and scope of activity to be enforceable.<\/p>\n\n<p>The maximum acceptable duration is typically two years, and any geographical restriction must reflect a genuine business interest.<\/p>\n\n<p>Confidentiality clauses face fewer restrictions and can extend beyond the contract term without a specific time limit.<\/p>\n\n<p>Careful drafting of these clauses is one of the areas where <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong> most often diverge from Anglo-Saxon models.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Arbitration as an alternative to litigation<\/h2>\n\n<p>Spain&#8217;s Arbitration Act 60\/2003 aligns with the UNCITRAL Model Law, making Spain a genuinely modern arbitration jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Madrid International Arbitration Centre (MIAC) and the Valencia Arbitration Court are widely used seats for international commercial arbitration.<\/p>\n\n<p>Arbitration awards benefit from streamlined enforcement in more than 170 countries under the New York Convention 1958.<\/p>\n\n<p>For many <strong>international contracts under Spanish law<\/strong>, an arbitration clause pointing to Madrid or Valencia offers a faster, more private and more predictable dispute resolution mechanism than litigation.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Cross-border employment and services contracts<\/h2>\n\n<p>Contracts for services rendered in Spain by foreign providers must comply with the Spanish social security regime unless a coverage certificate applies.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our detailed note on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/relocating-uk-employees-to-spain\/\">relocating UK employees to Spain<\/a>

href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/vat-registration-foreign\/\">VAT registration in Spain for foreign businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>UK-Spain commercial contracts after Brexit<\/h2>\n\n<p>Since Brexit, cross-border UK-Spain contracts require careful jurisdiction and enforcement planning.<\/p>\n\n<p>Contracts drafted before 2020 should be reviewed against the current post-Brexit framework to ensure enforcement remains straightforward.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our note on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/uk-spain-double-taxation\/\">UK Spain double taxation<\/a> covers the parallel tax considerations for cross-border trading.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Common mistakes in international contracts under Spanish law<\/h2>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Failing to include an express choice of law and forum clause, leaving the outcome to default Rome I rules.<\/li>\n<li>Using standard-form clauses translated from another legal system without adapting them to Spanish law.<\/li>\n<li>Overlooking mandatory Spanish rules on consumer, agent or employee protection.<\/li>\n<li>Signing before a foreign notary without apostille formalities where enforcement in Spain is anticipated.<\/li>\n<li>Assuming EU rules still cover UK-Spain contracts in the same way as before Brexit.<\/li>\n<li>Missing the requirement to register certain contracts at the Spanish Commercial Registry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The official Spanish text of the Rome I Regulation and other applicable EU commercial law is published by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mjusticia.gob.es\" target=\"_blank\"
