Defending consumers against financial abuses
Raúl Castañeda, executive president
In a context where consumers increasingly face conflicts with banks, financial operators and companies across multiple sectors, Preico Jurídicos positions itself as the leading firm in Spain in the defence of consumer rights. With central offices in Madrid and Barcelona, totalling more than 4,000 square metres of operational facilities, and supported by a growing franchise network in cities such as Valencia, the firm offers nationwide coverage and a highly structured legal service model.
Preico Jurídicos defines itself as a large-scale, specialised organisation dedicated exclusively to protecting citizens against abusive practices in the financial and commercial marketplace. Today, it is the law firm that manages the highest number of consumer-defence cases in Spain, with more than 100,000 clients assisted, over €150 million recovered, and a procedural track record unmatched in the sector. Its growth is based on a model of specialisation, scalability and a clear mission: making effective legal defence accessible to everyone.
The firm structures its work around several major areas of consumer protection. The first is banking and financial litigation, where Preico Jurídicos is recognised as a national leader in claims related to usury, revolving cards, microloans, consumer credit, abusive interest rates and irregular banking practices. A second area specialises in vehicle financing and automotive-related disputes —including car-loan litigation, warranty issues, hidden defects and other contractual conflicts.
A third core practice covers the right to reputation and defence against improper inclusion in credit default registers such as ASNEF or Equifax, offering clients compensation pathways when data mismanagement has caused harm. Beyond the financial sector, the firm also assists consumers in a wide range of day-to-day conflicts —travel, telecommunications, e-commerce, utilities and general commercial services— consolidating its position as the reference legal partner for individuals facing unfair situations.
Preico Jurídicos also plays a significant role in proceedings under the Second Chance Law, enabling debtors acting in good faith to obtain full debt discharge and rebuild their financial stability.
The firm attributes its success to the professionalism of its team, its industrial organisation of legal workflows, and its commitment to delivering fast, effective and transparent solutions. It also highlights the scale of its infrastructure —two central headquarters exceeding 4,000 m² between Madrid and Barcelona, coupled with a nationwide franchise network— and its fee philosophy, which it defines as “fair, competent and accessible”, adapted to the circumstances of each case.
The Spanish context continues to generate strong demand for specialised consumer defence services: abusive lending, vehicle financing, mass-market services, digital contracting and the proliferation of credit default registers have produced substantial case-law developments. The Second Chance Law has likewise opened a vital path for thousands of citizens seeking protection. In this evolving landscape, Preico Jurídicos aims not only to provide legal representation, but to contribute to a fairer market by combining assertive legal action, technical accuracy and a large-scale operational capacity to enforce consumer rights.
