Paloma Zabalgo

Professional Background

Paloma Zabalgo is a family lawyer by vocation and conviction. For more than twenty years, she has guided individuals and families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives, combining rigorous legal expertise with a deeply human approach.

As the founder and managing partner of her own law firm in Madrid, she has built an independent, highly specialised practice committed to a more balanced and fair approach to justice.

She holds a Law Degree from the Complutense University of Madrid, is currently pursuing doctoral studies at Rey Juan Carlos University, and lectures at various academic institutions. She also coordinates and contributes to leading legal publications, including the prestigious Family Law Yearbook published by Tirant lo Blanch.
