ECIJA, leading firm in the latest edition of Chambers NewLaw Global Guide 2025
ECIJA is positioned as the undisputed market leader after being the only Spanish firm included in the 2025 edition of Chambers NewLaw and promoted to Band 1.
Chambers and Partners, the international legal directory of reference, has distinguished ECIJA Tech, ECIJA's digital transformation practice, as a Band 1 leader in the global guide Chambers NewLaw 2025 in the Legal Transformation Consulting category. ECIJA thus becomes the only Spanish firm recognised in this category, consolidating its benchmark position in the use of advanced technology and artificial intelligence applied to law.
The guide highlights the firm's transformative role in the legal ecosystem: "What sets ECIJA Tech apart is its deep understanding of the client's real challenges, its unique way of working, and a production model designed to deliver effective, client-focused service".
This international recognition highlights ECIJA Tech's unique model, led by Paul Handal, partner in charge of the area, who has also been distinguished in Band 1 by Chambers. His leadership stands out for its exemplary integration of legal and technological vision, with a practical, strategic and innovative approach.
"Paul's ability to bridge legal and technological perspectives makes him an outstanding consultant, providing practical and forward-thinking guidance to drive efficiency and innovation in legal ops," say our clients in interviews with the board.
