As part of its international growth strategy, ECIJA has confirmed a strategic alliance with the Anglo-German company Taylor Wessing. Aiming to solidify its position as a leading international TMT giant, and although a non-exclusive agreement, both firms will serve their clients through a combined network of more than 3,000 professionals and 500 partners in 62 offices in 53 jurisdictions worldwide support.
Taylor Wessing is a leading international company known for its expertise in areas such as TMT, intellectual property, energy, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, among others.
This collaboration agreement responds to the exponential growth of some of the strategic sectors for both companies, which seek to consolidate themselves as a world reference in an increasingly competitive, global and specialized market. As a result, they have one of the best performing multidisciplinary teams, with a presence in the five main jurisdictions in Europe: Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, France and Germany.
According to Hugo Écija, President of ECIJA, “this alliance confirms our commitment to consolidate our position as an international company and as a reference in the digital economy”.
Alejandro Touriño, Managing Partner of the company, says: “We saw a great opportunity in a common market approach and created a major global player in TMT. In Taylor Wessing we have found a perfect ally with whom we share strategy, values and corporate culture.”
Shane Gleghorn, Managing Partner of Taylor Wessing in the UK and Co-Chairman of the Global Council, said: “The Iberian Peninsula is an attractive and increasingly important region for business growth. The expansion of our European offering into the Euro 5 zone supports our current strategy while investor interest and opportunity in technology, life sciences and real estate remains high at this time. This alliance significantly expands the joint offering of both companies in Europe and worldwide. Our customers can continue to expect the excellence and innovation that both companies are known for, with more competitive ties and a deep understanding of their markets.”
Olaf Kranz, Managing Partner of Taylor Wessing in Germany and Co-Chair of the Global Council, said: “ECIJA’s strategy, like ours, is focused on advising our clients and developing new opportunities in strategic sectors for both companies. ECIJA’s success and track record is impressive and there has always been a clear alignment with our values and a symmetry between our strategies and core areas.
