Excelente profesional y buena persona. Trato muy cercano y profesional. Disponible y comprometida. Gracias a Dios solamente he recurrido a ella para realizar algunas consultas, sin haber sido necesario llegar a juicio. A pesar de ser un tema menor, ha estado atenta en todo momento y siempre dispuesta a ayudar. Un ejemplo para mí que hiciese público su cambio de sexo y la defensa de su identidad de género.

LEGAL SUPPORT TAILORED TO THE FACTS

FOR PEOPLE SEEKING PROTECTION

We assess the facts, evidence and available routes without requiring you to decide the legal classification first.

FOR PEOPLE UNDER INVESTIGATION

We prepare interviews and hearings, review the evidence and build a defence based on your procedural rights.

LEGAL RECOGNITION AND DOCUMENTATION

We advise on changing the registered sex entry and updating official documents under Law 4/2023. The applicable route depends on age, nationality and whether there has been a previous rectification.

The procedure cannot be made conditional on a medical or psychological report, surgery, hormonal treatment or any other bodily modification.

AGE & REPRESENTATION

From age 16, a person may apply personally. At 14–15, the application is made with the assistance of legal representatives. At 12–13, judicial authorisation is required.

PROCEDURE

The application may be filed at any Civil Registry Office. A second appearance must take place within three months; the decision is due within the following month.

DOCUMENTS & EFFECTS

After registration, identity documents and other records may be updated. Foreign documents and cross-border situations require individual assessment.

REVERSAL

A reversal may be requested after six months. A later further rectification following rectification and reversal requires judicial proceedings.

DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS

Depending on the facts and evidence, the appropriate route may be administrative, employment, civil or criminal. Not every discriminatory act is a hate crime.
