I believe the answer is:

detectable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's apparent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'all to see on a lawyer from spain' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'see' could be 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'lawyer' could be 'bl' (Bachelor of Law) and 'bl' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'spain' could be 'e' (abbreviation for Espana) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
