IurisWatch
Spanish legal and tax research platform pairing 4.5 million official documents — statutes, case law and binding DGT rulings — with semantic AI search, legislative alerts and side-by-side comparison against German, French, Dutch and Portuguese law.
What is IurisWatch?
IurisWatch is a Spanish legal and tax research platform published by Susan Cabot SLU, built around a single idea: the sources a practitioner needs are all public, but they live in different places and nobody links them together. The platform claims more than 4.5 million documents — roughly 2.9 million statutes drawn from the BOE and nineteen regional gazettes going back to 1835, 1.44 million decisions of the Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, National Court and CJEU, 85,000 binding DGT tax opinions and over 6,000 TEAC resolutions.
The organising unit is the Atlas: a body of law arranged by practice area, of which the site advertises between 73 and 75 depending on the page. Inside every section, six layers are stacked on the same point of law — the consolidated statute, the implementing regulation, the ministerial orders and AEAT instructions, the DGT opinions, the TEAC doctrine and finally the case law. Nineteen practice areas are covered, from tax and employment to insolvency, competition, urban planning, military criminal law and EU directives.
On top of that corpus sit four products. Atlas Iuris is the reference base itself, searchable in natural language rather than by keyword, returning answers with exact citations. Bloques lets you buy practice areas à la carte instead of a whole jurisdiction. Radar monitors the BOE, the regional gazettes, the TEAC and the DGT and pushes alerts to your dashboard — deliberately not by email. Comparador puts a Spanish rule next to its German, French, Dutch or Portuguese counterpart, up to three countries at a time.
Two AI outputs are billed in credits: a complete PDF dossier for any article, at roughly 0.40 to 0.65 euros, and an automated due diligence report on a transaction, at roughly 1.30 to 2.60 euros. A Compliance Hub tracks a client's obligations, and a search API opens the database to external software.
A permanently free tier sits alongside all of this at free.iuriswatch.eu, where 72,308 BOE instruments are explained in everyday language with no sign-up at all. Every AI summary is labelled synthetic content under the EU AI Act and is not legal advice.

When to use IurisWatch / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if IurisWatch is the right fit.
When to use IurisWatch
- Spanish tax advisers who need every IRPF, IS or IVA article cross-linked to the DGT opinions, TEAC resolutions and Supreme Court rulings that interpret it
- General-practice lawyers who would rather describe a case in plain language than guess the right keyword, and want the exact legal reasoning cited back
- In-house legal teams operating in Spain plus Germany, France, the Netherlands or Portugal, who currently pay for two disconnected national subscriptions
- Employment lawyers and HR departments working from the Workers' Statute, social security law and the 50,000-plus collective agreements in force
- Universities and research centres, which get the same API as commercial customers at a 70% discount for non-commercial teaching and research
When not to use IurisWatch
- Anyone working outside Spanish law and its four comparison jurisdictions — there is no coverage of common-law, US or non-EU systems
- English-speaking teams: the interface ships in Spanish, German, French, Dutch and Portuguese only, with no English version
- Practitioners who want a drafting assistant or a document generator rather than a research and monitoring database
- Buyers with a strict procurement checklist: no data processing agreement is offered, no certification is claimed, and the vendor says nothing about AI model training
- Mobile-first users, since the product is a browser application with no iOS, Android or extension build

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Systematically cross-links statute, DGT opinion, TEAC doctrine and case law, which is exactly the work that official sources leave undone
- Genuine depth on the Spanish corpus: 85,000-plus DGT opinions, 6,000-plus TEAC resolutions and 50,000-plus collective agreements in force
- Cross-border comparison against four EU jurisdictions in one interface, instead of two disconnected national subscriptions
- Buy one practice area rather than a whole jurisdiction, which brings the entry point well below a full-country licence
- Fourteen-day trial with no payment card, no commitment and one-click cancellation, on top of a permanently free tier that needs no sign-up
- EU hosting on Spanish servers is claimed, the three processors are named in the privacy policy, and no advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used
- AI summaries are consistently flagged as synthetic content under the EU AI Act, and updates are promised within 24 hours of official publication
Cons
- No postal address anywhere on the site — the legal notice says only that the registered office is in Spain
- The publisher is a single-member company incorporated in 2025 with no archived history of the domain, which is thin ground for an annual commitment
- Figures disagree between pages: 73, 74 or 75 Atlas depending on where you look, and the homepage counters render as zero in static HTML
- No data processing agreement, no named DPO and no certification, and complete silence on whether customer data trains AI models
- Four of the five advertised Radars are still announced rather than live; only the urban planning one is active
- Prices exclude 21% VAT, AI credits expire at the end of each billing period, and the Cross-Border block costs €299 a month against €8 to €15 for the others
- Support runs through a ticket form only, with no support email address, and there is no mobile app, browser extension or English interface

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how IurisWatch handles your data.
GDPR overview
GDPR compliance is claimed explicitly and documented in reasonable detail. The privacy policy, last updated in May 2026, names Susan Cabot SLU as controller, states the legal bases used — contract performance under Article 6(1)(b), consent for marketing under 6(1)(a) and legitimate interest for service improvement under 6(1)(f) — and lists the six data subject rights with privacidad@iuriswatch.eu as the point of contact. The Spanish supervisory authority, the AEPD, is named as the complaint route. Three processors are disclosed by name: Stripe and Cloudflare, both in the United States under standard contractual clauses, and Hostinger for EU hosting. The vendor is established in Spain, so no Article 27 representative is required. No data processing agreement is offered to customers, no DPO is named, and no independent certification is claimed.
Who owns the data?
Ownership is split in two. The official material the platform reproduces — statutes, court decisions and administrative rulings — stays in the public domain under Spanish intellectual property law. Everything IurisWatch adds on top of it, meaning the summaries, the structured entries and the analysis, belongs to Susan Cabot SLU, including the AI-generated summaries, which the site labels as synthetic content under Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The terms forbid scraping, bulk extraction and redistribution of that editorial layer, and forbid sharing account credentials. Nothing in the published documents grants the vendor any licence over what a customer types into the platform, and nothing addresses it either way.
Reuse rights
Customers may use the platform's output in their own professional work, but not redistribute the editorial layer. The terms of service explicitly prohibit scraping, mass extraction and redistribution of editorial content, and prohibit sharing access credentials with third parties, so reselling summaries or feeding them into another product is out of scope of the subscription. The underlying official documents carry no such restriction: they are public domain and can be reused freely from their official source. Academic API customers face one extra condition — usage must stay non-commercial, limited to research and teaching, and publications must cite IurisWatch. Every AI-generated summary is flagged as synthetic content and is expressly not legal or tax advice, so it should be verified against the official text before it is relied on.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
The site is consistent about hosting: the homepage states that data is held in the European Union with no exposure to the US Cloud Act, the footer repeats that it is hosted in the EU, and both the pricing page and its FAQ say the servers are Spanish. The privacy policy names Hostinger International Ltd as the hosting provider, located in the EU. Two other processors sit outside that perimeter and are covered by standard contractual clauses: Stripe for payments and Cloudflare for CDN and security, both in the United States. One point deserves care. The domain resolves to a Cloudflare anycast address geolocated in the United States. That is a content delivery node, not a storage location, and it does not contradict the Spanish hosting claim. Beyond these statements, no data centre is named, no region or availability zone is specified, and no hosting certification is claimed.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting IurisWatch.
- AI-generated summaries read with the authority of a legal database but are explicitly not advice; the terms disclaim completeness and real-time updating, and a stale criterion relied on in a filing can cost far more than the subscription
- Semantic search encourages asking rather than reading; over time it can erode the habit of working through a statute in full, which is where the qualifications and exceptions live
- Headline pricing understates the real bill: everything is quoted before 21% VAT, the €50 entry point buys one practice area rather than the platform, and AI credits are lost at the end of each billing period
- The vendor publishes nothing about whether customer queries and dossiers are used to train models, and offers no opt-out, so anything typed in should be treated as leaving your control
- No data processing agreement is available, which is a problem for any firm that must document its own processors when client matter data passes through a third-party platform
- The publisher is a single-member company incorporated in 2025 with no archived web history; continuity of service is unproven, and an annual prepayment carries that risk
- Content covers Spain and four comparison jurisdictions only, so a cross-border question that strays outside that perimeter will return confident-looking silence rather than a warning
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low for the product itself. It is a browser application with nothing to install and no technical skill required: the free site opens with no account at all, three interactive demos are public, and the trial takes a sign-up form and no payment card. Configuring the Radar means picking practice areas and filtering by region, instrument type or source. The API is the one step that needs planning — there is no public documentation, access is requested from the login area or by email, and academic access requires a verified institutional address cleared in 24 to 48 hours.

Should you pick IurisWatch?
IurisWatch is a narrow tool that does one difficult thing well. Spanish legislation, administrative doctrine and case law are all public, but they are scattered across the BOE, nineteen regional gazettes, the DGT, the TEAC and several courts, and nobody joins them up. Stacking those six layers under a single article, and letting a practitioner reach them by describing a situation rather than guessing a keyword, is real value for a Spanish tax adviser or lawyer. The cross-border comparison against Germany, France, the Netherlands and Portugal is the second genuine differentiator, and it addresses a problem that usually costs two separate national subscriptions.
The commercial model is unusually easy to test. A permanently free tier needs no account at all, three interactive demos are open, and the trial runs fourteen days without a payment card. Buying a single practice area from €50 a month, rather than a whole jurisdiction at €500, keeps the entry cost proportionate to a small practice.
The reservations are about the vendor rather than the product. Susan Cabot SLU is a single-member company incorporated in 2025, publishes no postal address beyond the word Spain, offers no data processing agreement, names no data protection officer and says nothing at all about whether customer data is used to train models. Four of the five advertised monitoring Radars are still announced rather than live, the headcount figures disagree from page to page, and prices are quoted before 21% VAT.
For a Spanish practitioner, the free tier and the card-free trial make the evaluation cost effectively zero, and that is the right way to approach it. For an annual commitment at the full-country price, ask about the vendor's durability and its data commitments first.
