ECIJA consolidates its leadership in Latin America with its best-ever ranking in Chambers Latin America 2027
ECIJA, the Spanish firm with the largest presence in Latin America, continues to consolidate its position as one of the region’s leading law firms following the results of Chambers Latin America 2027, one of the most prestigious legal directories and a key reference for international companies, investors and clients.
In this edition, the firm has achieved 19 improvements, comprising new rankings and upgrades in banding – its best result to date – strengthening its position in nine jurisdictions and consolidating growth in several of its strategic practice areas.
The results reflect the strength of ECIJA’s model in Latin America and the growing specialisation of its teams, with recognition in areas such as Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT), Corporate/M&A, Tax, Dispute Resolution, Labour & Employment, Intellectual Property and Real Estate, amongst others.
Particularly significant is the performance of Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT), a practice that the firm has made one of the cornerstones of its international strategy. The results of this edition consolidate ECIJA’s position as one of the most highly recognised firms in this specialism across the region, reinforcing its long-standing leadership in the digital economy and technology and confirming the success of a strategy aimed at positioning this practice amongst the very best in all the markets in which it operates.
"These results reflect the maturity of our project in Latin America. Our aim has never been to grow for growth’s sake, but rather to build a leading firm in each of the markets where we operate, with highly specialised teams capable of handling the most complex matters. To see how this work is translating into ever-greater recognition from Chambers is a source of immense satisfaction and, above all, a tribute to the talent of our professionals,” says Alejandro Touriño, Managing Partner at ECIJA.
This recognition comes at a time of particular momentum for the firm. In recent months, ECIJA has been named European Law Firm of the Year at The Lawyer European Awards, has received the Best Law Firm: International Expansion at the Leaders League Alliance Summit Awards, and has been recognised by Law.com as the international firm with the strongest presence in Latin America, ranking first among international firms in the LatAm Top 30 by number of lawyers in the region.
These milestones reflect a strategy of sustained growth based on specialisation, innovation and a fully integrated international platform, capable of offering its clients coordinated advice across the main markets in Europe and Latin America.
