ECIJA recognised by Leaders League as the law firm with the strongest international expansion
ECIJA has been honoured with the “Best Law Firm: International Expansion” award at the 2026 Leaders League Alliance Awards, held on 17 June in Miami.
The award recognises ECIJA’s sustained international growth and reinforces its position as the international law firm with the strongest presence across Latin America. With 36 offices in 18 countries, ECIJA has built one of the most extensive legal footprints in the Ibero-American market, a leadership position also recognised by Law.com International.
The award was accepted by Ricardo Oliveras on behalf of the firm during a ceremony attended by leading law firms, general counsel and business leaders from the United States, Latin America and Europe, as part of the Leaders League Alliance Summit: Law & Innovation.
“This award belongs to every professional who is part of ECIJA. Above all, it is a recognition of the extraordinary work carried out by our teams across Latin America, whose talent, commitment and vision have been instrumental in building the firm we are today,” said Alejandro Touriño, Managing Partner of ECIJA.
Behind this recognition lies a distinctive growth model built on a shared culture, an international outlook, and a strategic commitment to talent, innovation and technology. Over little more than a decade, ECIJA has grown from 40 to more than 1,200 professionals, becoming one of the largest law firms in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world.
