‘Their practical and technical knowledge beyond the purely legal part is undoubtedly an added value and differential element.’
'On many occasions we consult them on very new and complex topics but they always understand our needs and give us very practical and very business-oriented answers. They meet deadlines even if they are very strict and always adjust to their client's needs. The partners are very accessible, even the managing partner. This is not always the case in large firms. When a new topic comes up, we have no doubt that we must go to Écija because they are surely already working on/investigating it internally.'
‘Alejandro Touriño stands out for his knowledge of the technological world that so affects the digital transformation of financial entities.’
‘Alejandro Touriño gets involved when necessary and knows how to manage work within his team, selecting the most specialised professionals for each type of negotiation. Full availability and closeness in treatment.’
‘Écija's technology, media and telecoms team is a benchmark in the sector when it comes to providing quality legal advice to companies in this industry. The team stands out for its diversity and for the high degree of knowledge of each of its members of the industries in which they work. Without a doubt, its professionals provide great added value to companies like us by providing knowledge of the market and the audiovisual business. I would highlight the good atmosphere that emerges from the team, their high availability for any query or meeting, and the professionalism of all of them.’
‘The Écija team stands out for its excellent response capacity. They are tremendous professionals and in the projects we have collaborated on they have more than met expectations. Compared to other firms in the same sector, I would highlight their speed in responding to queries and requested deliverables. Likewise, I consider that in the quality/price ratio Ecija is a reference partner for internal legal advisers, since they know the possibilities of each client and know how to adapt and adjust the fees without giving up the excellent quality that the firm offers.'
'It is worth highlighting its partner Helena Suarez, an expert in the sector who has offered a plus to the firm since her incorporation due to her excellent knowledge of the industry and all the players involved in it. Likewise, partner Juan Salmerón stands out as a lawyer specialised in this sector, knowledgeable about all the legislative developments in the industry and always focused on the needs of his clients.’
