Spain is situated at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, bordered by Portugal to the west, France and Andorra to the northeast, the Bay of Biscay to the north and facing Morocco in Africa to the south. Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world after English and Chinese. Barcelona, located on the Mediterranean coast, is the second-largest city in Spain and has been known as the "Flower of Europe." It is home to the world-renowned FC Barcelona and the celebrated architectural ensemble created by Antoni Gaudí, including the Sagrada Familia, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose construction commenced in 1882 and remains unfinished; Casa Batlló, inspired by Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; and Casa Milà, a late Gaudí masterpiece notable for its nearly complete absence of right angles; and the vibrant La Boqueria Market, brimming with fresh seafood, cured ham and a lively local atmosphere.

Founded in 2010, Assessoria Elcym is the earliest established Chinese law firm in Barcelona and one of the larger full-service law firms in the Barcelona area. The majority of its partners and lawyers are graduates of prestigious Spanish and international law schools, with extensive practical experience, and the business spans specialised areas including construction engineering, immigration, human capital, tax law, and insurance law.
