Our Firm
34 years of commitment and excellence in Family Law, offering personalized solutions to protect what matters most: your home and your future.
With 34 years dedicated to Family Law, Carmen Varela creates a new firm specialized exclusively in Family and Inheritance Law: Carmen Varela, Family Lawyers, to continue
dedicated to what we always do: advising and supporting people through their separation process and in all aspects of family law, offering our clients a highly specialized and experienced service.
Carmen has founded a legal boutique that advises individuals and law firms specializing in other areas of law who prefer to offer their clients the advice of a highly specialized firm like ours.
Due to our knowledge of commercial law, we advise married couples or business couples who have joint ventures, which allows us to resolve, in addition to their breakup, the problems generated by the family business. Similarly, our experience in administrative law allows us to handle child, adoption, and abandonment proceedings.
As a result of the interest and passion that the firm’s partners have for family law, we have long been committed to international law, being one of the few firms in Barcelona specialized in child and adolescent abduction, mixed marriages, relocation (national and international transfers), and surrogacy.
In our commitment to “preventive family law,” we negotiate and prepare marital agreements and settlements in anticipation of a breakup, coordinating with partners in other countries to assess which legislation is most beneficial for our clients.
In short, we are the same lawyers we’ve always been and remain exclusively dedicated to what we are passionate about: family law. Our top priority is protecting the best interests of the child and practicing this demanding profession called law with dedication, commitment, and responsibility.
Specialization and experience
34 years dedicated exclusively to Family and Inheritance Law, with a deep understanding of each case and its implications.
Personalized attention
We offer personalized advice and solutions tailored to each client's needs, prioritizing their well-being and that of their families.
International projection
Experience in cross-border cases, relocations, and international child and adolescent abductions, ensuring defense and representation in various countries.
Our values
In addition to being committed to the fundamental ethical principles of the legal profession (such as independence, freedom of defense, trust, integrity, and professional secrecy), Carmen Varela, Family Lawyers embraces a corporate culture that inspires the firm’s relationship with its clients and the firm’s relationship with its members.
This specialization allows us to organize training programs for lawyers at our Study Center, as well as to give lectures and lecture at prestigious institutions and to author numerous scientific publications.
This corporate culture is based on the following essential values:
The excellence
We achieve the technical quality of our professional services not only through rigorous and up-to-date knowledge of the changing national and international legal landscape, but also by providing our clients with innovative solutions tailored to their needs.
Dedication to the customer
We consider the client’s personal relationship with the members of the Firm to be just as important as the technical quality of the service we provide. We value client feedback and are accountable for our work. Therefore, we are firmly committed to our clients and their personal circumstances, striving to build a relationship of mutual trust and understanding.
We rely on ongoing communication (in person, by phone, and electronically) in the management of each case, allowing clients to stay informed at all times. Honesty underpins our relationship with our clients, as we offer comprehensive advice tailored to the changing circumstances of the family’s situation, enabling them to make the most appropriate decision at all times.
Teamwork
We believe that the diversity of our team adds value to our professional services. Therefore, the case is always led by a partner of the firm, who is directly involved and also coordinates the other professionals on the team (other lawyers from the firm or, if necessary, other international collaborating firms) involved in the case.
Specialization and continuing education
Our team is exclusively dedicated to Family Law, which allows us to offer in-depth and up-to-date knowledge in this field. We are committed to ongoing training and actively participate in national and international conferences, seminars, and legal networks to ensure rigorous technical advice aligned with the latest jurisprudential standards.

One of the distinguishing features of our firm is our specialization in International Family Law. Our managing partner is one of the founders of the Association of Professionals Against International Child Abduction in Spain (ASIME) and the International Association of Family Lawyers (AIJUDEFA), a member of the UIA (International Association of Lawyers) and the IAFL (International Academy of Family Lawyers), and a member of the prestigious international organization specializing in international child abduction, REUNITE.

The objective of Carmen Varela, Family Lawyers, is to respond to new family models and safeguard the interests of children, adolescents, and the elderly, as these are the two population groups most in need of protection. We continue to advise and support national, international, and expatriate families throughout their breakup and in all other aspects of Family Law in which we specialize. We do all this by offering our clients a humane approach and a fully personalized service tailored to each client’s needs, always respecting the ethical and professional standards.
