ECIJA cements its leadership in legal innovation with two awards at the 2026 Legal Geek Leaders in Tech Law Awards
ECIJA has been honoured with two awards at the 2026 Legal Geek Leaders in Tech Law Awards, held last night in London, consolidating its position amongst the firms leading the technological transformation of the legal sector internationally.
The firm has won the Regulatory, Governance & Compliance Technologyaward for an artificial intelligence project applied to the transformation of corporate governance, and Alejandro Touriño, CEO of ECIJA, has received the Lifetime Contribution to Innovation award , which recognises his career and contribution to innovation and the evolution of legal services.
This double recognition rewards two aspects of the same commitment: ECIJA’s ability to turn innovation into concrete solutions for its clients, and a track record characterised by the constant questioning of traditional models of legal service provision.
The winning project in the Regulatory, Governance & Compliance Technology category applies artificial intelligence to the transformation of the corporate secretariat, rethinking highly complex legal and governance processes to move towards more efficient, intelligent and scalable models.
For his part, the recognition awarded to Alejandro Touriño highlights a career closely linked to the transformation of ECIJA.
“For us, innovation has never been an option, but rather an opportunity: an opportunity to set ourselves apart, challenge the status quo and build a better firm for our clients. Technology changes, markets change and our clients change; we have to change with them,” says Touriño.
For ECIJA’s CEO, the new era ushered in by artificial intelligence is once again forcing the sector to rethink its models: “AI challenges the way we work and forces us to rethink what it means to be a lawyer, but it also represents a huge opportunity to create more value and do things better. The greatest risk is not change; it is standing still.”
This double recognition reinforces ECIJA’s position as a firm that has made innovation its hallmark, embracing technology and artificial intelligence not only to improve efficiency, but also to transform traditional models of legal service provision and generate new ways of adding value for its clients.
With these awards, ECIJA consolidates its international standing and reaffirms its commitment to a legal profession that is more innovative, technologically advanced and prepared for the challenges of the future.
