Plain-language legal help for everyday life

Legal questions, answered in words you actually understand.

Consilia helps private individuals make sense of family matters, consumer rights, contracts and inheritance — calmly, without jargon, and without judgement.

Family & relationships

The decisions that matter most, explained gently.

Separation, custody arrangements, parental responsibilities or a marriage agreement — these are rarely just paperwork. We walk you through your options in plain language, so you can decide what is right for your family without feeling rushed.

  • What your rights and obligations actually are
  • Practical next steps, in the order they matter
  • When it is worth involving a court — and when it is not

Consumer rights

When a purchase goes wrong, you have more standing than you think.

A faulty product, a holiday that never happened, a subscription you cannot cancel, an unfair charge on your bill. We help you understand where you stand and how to ask for what you are owed — clearly and on paper.

  • How to frame a complaint that gets taken seriously
  • Your refund, repair and replacement options
  • What deadlines you need to keep in mind
We believe a person should never have to feel small just because they have a legal question. Our job is to put the law back in your hands.

Contracts & agreements

Read it once with us before you sign it once for good.

Tenancy agreements, employment terms, loan documents, service contracts — the small print is where the surprises hide. We read the clauses that matter, flag anything one-sided, and tell you what you are really agreeing to.

Inheritance & wills

Putting things in order, so the people you love are spared the guesswork.

Writing a will, understanding what you may inherit, or sorting out an estate after a loss — these moments are hard enough. We explain the process step by step and help you avoid the mistakes that cause disputes later.

  • Who inherits when there is no will
  • The paperwork an estate actually requires

How it works

Three calm steps, no surprises.

Tell us what happened

Send a short message describing your situation. No forms full of jargon — just your own words.

We explain your options

A qualified advisor reviews it and replies in plain language, with the choices you realistically have.

You decide your next step

If you want, we draft the letter, check the contract, or guide you through the process. The pace is yours.

Common questions

The things people ask us most.

Honest answers about how Consilia works, what we can help with, and what to expect.

We give clear guidance, review documents and explain your options so you understand where you stand. For matters that must go before a court, we will tell you plainly when formal legal representation is needed and help you prepare for that step.

An initial question and our assessment of your situation is straightforward and transparent. If your matter needs more detailed work, we agree the scope and a fixed price with you before anything begins — no open-ended billing.

Consilia is established in Madrid and works primarily within Spanish and EU consumer and civil frameworks. If your question reaches beyond that, we will say so honestly and point you toward the right specialist.

Most first replies arrive within one to two working days. If your matter is time-sensitive, mention it in your message and we will prioritise it.

Yes. Everything you tell us is treated as confidential and handled in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law. We only use your details to help with your matter.

Talk to us

Start with a question. There is no wrong way to ask.

Describe your situation in a few sentences. A real advisor reads every message and replies personally — no automated runaround.
