ECIJA consolidates its leadership in Technology and Artificial Intelligence at the Expansión Jurídico Awards
The firm has won 11 awards in 11 years and has consolidated its leadership as a benchmark in the legal market for technology, the digital economy and artificial intelligence.
ECIJA has once again been recognised as the Best Firm in Technology and Artificial Intelligence at the eleventh edition of the Expansión Jurídico Awards, consolidating its unique track record in the Spanish legal market: 11 awards in 11 years.
The award recognises ECIJA’s sustained leadership in technology, the digital economy and artificial intelligence, as well as its ability to anticipate the major legal challenges posed by digital transformation. This recognition confirms the firm’s role as a benchmark in a field where innovation, specialisation and forward-thinking are now key determinants.
At ECIJA, technology is not just a practice area: it is a way of understanding the legal profession. It is present across all areas, offices and teams, and defines the way in which the firm advises, innovates and grows alongside its clients.
In the words of Alejandro Touriño, managing partner at ECIJA: “This recognition does not merely reward a specialism. It rewards a way of understanding the legal profession. At ECIJA, technology is not just a practice area; it is the common language through which we advise, innovate and grow. It is present in all areas, in all offices and across all teams. That is why, when the market recognises ECIJA as the leading firm in technology and artificial intelligence, the award does not belong to just a few: it belongs to everyone.”
For his part, Hugo Écija, Chief Executive of ECIJA, remarked: “Winning 11 awards in 11 years is the result of the talent, ambition and capacity for innovation of the entire team. This recognition spurs us on to continue leading the transformation of the legal sector, supporting our clients with solutions that are increasingly efficient, sophisticated and tailored to the challenges of the digital economy.”
With a presence in 18 countries and a team of over 1,400 professionals, ECIJA reinforces its position with this new award as one of the most innovative firms in the legal market and as an undisputed leader in technology and artificial intelligence.
The eleventh edition of the Expansión Jurídico Awards brought together the country’s leading law firms and the legal teams of some of Spain’s largest companies, recognising the excellence, innovation and leadership of the year’s most outstanding law firms and legal advisory firms.
