"Expensive chaos" and many open questions: What clients can do when a lawyer suddenly stops responding

Answer

What should I do if my Mallorca-based lawyer stops responding and deadlines could be at risk?

Act quickly: gather and secure evidence of payments, contracts, and communications. Request in writing the current status of your representation and any mandate transfer, and ask who now represents you. Contact the successor firm if it is known, and reach out to the Balearic Bar Association for guidance on deadlines and remedies.
