Specialist defence against financial institutions
Carmen Serrano, CEO
Based in León, Spain, Serrano?Abogados has established itself as a leading law firm in banking law and financial claims in Spain. The firm, led by lawyer Carmen Serrano Cimadevilla, with over three decades of experience, focuses on defending individuals affected by unfair clauses, multi-currency mortgages, preferred shares, floor clauses, and improper fees. She is joined by Carlos Serrano Cañas, also specialised in banking and civil law.
The firm emphasises a close and personalised approach, tailored to each client’s circumstances. It has secured over 3,000 favourable judgements against financial institutions and offers a free review of mortgages and financial contracts to identify potential abuses. This initial assessment allows clients to make informed decisions about pursuing legal action.
Serrano?Abogados specialises in complex financial products such as multi-currency mortgages, preferred shares, subordinated debt, swaps, and high-interest credit cards. Their approach combines technical expertise with personalised attention, which is essential in a field where banking litigation can be lengthy and complex. The firm received the “El Suplemento National Banking Law Award” in 2019, further consolidating its reputation as a reference point in the sector.
In addition to banking law, the firm offers services in family, labour, criminal, immigration law, inheritance, and traffic accidents, allowing clients to access comprehensive legal advice across different areas. This broad service model strengthens trust for those seeking not only representation in financial disputes but also guidance in other aspects of their legal needs.
The firm’s relevance is set against a backdrop of increasing litigation against banks in Spain, particularly following the 2008 financial crisis, when thousands of consumers took legal action over unfair clauses and complex financial products. Serrano?Abogados stands out for its ability to handle individual cases with technical rigour and human understanding, providing security and support to clients against major financial institutions.
Serrano?Abogados combines specialisation, experience, and personalised service to protect consumers’ rights in the financial sector. Its track record and national recognition demonstrate that a regional firm can have a significant impact in defending individuals against unfair banking practices, ensuring access to justice and expert advice in an increasingly complex environment.
