Our Firm

Our firm, Vila- Salbanyà – Martí , Advocats Associats, SCP, is the current name of the firm founded in 1980 by Manel Vila Castells, which has been providing legal services to companies, individuals and Public Administrations since then.

In the area of Private Law, we are able to offer comprehensive national and international legal advice to our clients. Apart from the areas of expertise in our firm, we also collaborate and act in coordination with high-level professionals. When the contracted services require actions abroad, we hire lawyers that can act and practice abroad and collaborate with them.

We provide our services to a wide variety of companies that operate in diverse areas and sectors, notwithstanding, we highlight our extensive experience in providing legal services to companies in the tourism sector, ranging from Travel Agencies, wholesalers and retailers to hotel chains which are known nationally and internationally.

We are also external legal advisers of several city councils, municipal corporations and intra-municipal organizations. From 1983, we are external legal counsellors of Calella City Council and we are responsible for their legal defence under all kinds of administrative and contentious-administrative appeals.
