Carlos Lorenzo, Spanish J.D., LL.M

Licensed Spanish Attorney for American Expats & U.S.-Spain Legal Specialist

My name is Carlos Lorenzo, and I'm a licensed Spanish attorney with a background that spans both sides of the Atlantic; professionally and personally.

I've lived and worked across Spain and in the United States, including time at an American law firm in Oregon and Arkansas. That experience gave me something most European attorneys don't have: a firsthand understanding of the U.S. legal system, American professional culture, and the expectations U.S. clients bring when they seek legal counsel abroad.

That transatlantic perspective led me to pursue a Ph.D. in U.S. Constitutional Law, deepening my expertise in U.S.–European legal relations and sharpening my ability to handle cross-border matters with both academic rigor and practical clarity.

Cultural awareness, clear communication, and empathy are central to how I work with clients. My goal is straightforward: every American I represent in Spain should feel understood, informed, and confident at every step of the legal process.
