ECIJA announces expansion in LATAM and a new boost to its ECIJA Tech area

ECIJA continues its international growth strategy with the expansion of its offices in Latin America and Spain scheduled for September. The firm will also integrate new teams and a division specialising in crypto-assets, after consolidating the entry of private capital in its shareholding.

This financial backing has strengthened its commitment to legal innovation, and one of the areas experiencing strong growth is ECIJA TECH, the multidisciplinary unit that brings together lawyers, legal engineers, developers and project managers to digitise legal departments of large corporations. Using no-code and low-code tools such as Thomson Reuters, Harvey AI and Microsoft, ECIJA is positioned as a key partner in legal digital transformation processes.

"The market is moving very fast. Without financial support, you cannot grow at the same pace as technology and the demands of general counsel," says Paul Handal, partner in charge of ECIJA TECH.

From artificial intelligence projects to automating complex legal workflows, ECIJA is leading the change in the legal sector with scalable, practical and client-centric solutions.

"We see private equity as a lever for purposeful transformation, not just an injection of capital," Alejandro Touriño, managing partner, told Law.com.
