Where these came from

These English-speaking lawyers come from 8 sources, led by the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (147), es.usembassy.gov (37) and a German diplomatic mission (33).

230 of the 233 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, which is a weaker claim and is labelled on each card.

Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Spain?
We list 233, in 17 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Madrid, with 80 of the 233.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Spain?
59% of the 395 lawyers we hold in Spain are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
