History

Advoco was formed in 2005 as partnership between Mr Baker and Mr Pedregosa to market and deliver the services of Inmobiliaria Y Asesoria GECASA S.L. to English-speaking residents of western Granada province.  Over the next three years services were expanded to cover most aspects of Spanish law, personal and business tax, small business accounting and public administration.  
In 2009 the partnership was extended  with the addition of professionals from Cordoba, Marbella, Benalmadena and Almuñecar and new specialisms in property law, litigation and family law.  A network of customer service associates was recruited to enable services to be delivered to English-speaking people across the three provinces.
