It is necessary to point out what this book is not. It is not a systematic and extensive study about all the legal matters concerning insurance in Spain. It is not a doctrinal essay about theoretical issues nor a simple guide to superficial matters. However, this book is a practical and an indepth study of some difficult and specific legal subjects which are key in the development of insurance business in Spain for a non Spanish insurance company, above all if it is in the EEA. How does the author know that these are the key subjects? The answer is simple: it is based on several reports that his Law Firm, LEGSE Abogados, has prepared over a period of 15 years, responding to some habitual questions asked by non Spanish insurance companies, which are clients of theirs.

This book is an in depth study of some difficult and specific legal subjects which are key in the development of insurance business in Spain and Portugal, such as: insurance contract, regulatory law, information requirements before and after the conclusion of the contract, nomination of person/s to benefit from a policy, Spanish life and non life insurance taxation, Registry of insurance policies covering death risk, prevention of money laundering, etc. It is based on several reports that LEGSE Abogados has prepared over a period of 25 years, responding to some habitual questions asked by non Spanish/Portuguese insurance companies, clients of this law firm. We hope this book will prove to be a useful guide.
