About Carla Fernandez
Carla Fernandez handles the procedural backbone of every Frank & Partners matter — from notary appointments and comunidad de propietarios coordination to Land Registry follow-through and day-to-day client management.
Raised in Marbella in a bilingual English-Spanish household, she bridges legal systems and cultures with precision, ensuring international clients understand each step of a Spanish process that can feel opaque from abroad.
Carla is currently pursuing a law degree at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (U.N.E.D.) while continuing her paralegal practice.
She specialises in the document-heavy mechanics of Spanish property and corporate procedure: appointments at the Notario, registrations at the Registro de la Propiedad and Registro Mercantil, certificates from town halls, and the dozens of signatures that turn a deal into a closed transaction.
