ECIJA, firm of the year in digital economy and artificial intelligence
ECIJA has been recognised with the award for Best Firm in Digital Economy and Artificial Intelligence in the tenth edition of the Expansión Jurídico Awards, accumulating in a decade a total of nine awards.
The ceremony, held last night in Madrid, brought together the country's leading law firms and the legal teams of the largest Ibex 35 companies. More than a hundred law firms and legal advisors participated in this edition, with more than 300 nominations evaluated in 21 categories. The jury, composed of former Ministers of Justice, board secretaries of large companies and managing partners of leading firms, highlighted the technical excellence, innovation capacity and leadership in the digital ecosystem of the award winners.
The award to ECIJA recognises the firm's leadership in the application of artificial intelligence to the practice of law, its transversal advice to more than a hundred companies in AI projects and its pioneering approach as the first Full AI Firm in Spain.
During 2024, ECIJA consolidated its position as the best firm in Digital Economy and its digital transformation strategy, integrating generative AI tools in its internal processes, developing proprietary solutions to improve client relations and transversally reinforcing its advisory area specialised in artificial intelligence. This approach was also recognised internationally by The Lawyer, in its European Lawyer Awards, which ranked ECIJA as one of the most innovative firms in Europe.
In the words of Hugo Écija, executive chairman of the firm: "It is the great effort and passion for innovation of the whole team that has allowed us to be here today collecting this award. I can't thank them enough. We continue to strive every day for innovation, improvement and excellence in our services".
Alejandro Touriño, Managing Partner of ECIJA, said: "It is an honour to receive this important recognition for the firm in a year of transformation and growth, in which we became the first Full AI Firm in the Spanish market. This award not only recognises our commitment to being pioneers, but also our commitment to a more efficient and inclusive practice of law, aligned with the challenges of the digital economy".
With a presence in 18 countries and a team of more than 1,400 professionals, ECIJA reinforces with this award its position as a benchmark firm in the digital economy, leading the way towards a new generation of legal services.
