The lawyer, recognised by Chambers & Partners and with more than 25 years' experience, joins as partner after building his career at firms such as Sagardoy, Herbert Smith Freehills and Dentons, reinforcing a strategic ECIJA practice that has more than 25 professionals in its Madrid office.
Madrid, 15 September 2026 — ECIJA continues its growth strategy and strengthens its Labour Law practice with the appointment of Eduardo Gómez de Enterría as a new partner in its Madrid office. His arrival reinforces a strategic area for the firm, recognised by Chambers & Partners and The Legal 500 in Spain.
With more than 25 years of professional experience, Gómez de Enterría is one of Spain's leading Labour Law lawyers. Throughout his career he has advised major national and international companies on all types of employment matters, standing out in particular for his work in collective bargaining and dispute processes, corporate restructurings, workforce reorganisations and highly complex labour situations.
His practice is characterised by a deep understanding of labour relations and a strategic approach focused on finding effective solutions in especially complex scenarios, supporting companies through transformation, negotiation and decision-making processes with a significant organisational impact.
Before joining ECIJA, Eduardo built his career at firms such as Sagardoy, Herbert Smith Freehills and Dentons, where he held leadership positions within the labour practice and advised major organisations on national and international matters.
With his arrival, ECIJA continues to strengthen a Labour team that now has more than 25 professionals in its Madrid office, including partners with well-established track records such as Raúl Rojas, Fernando Vizcaíno, Carlos Martínez-Cebrián and Álvaro Rodríguez de la Calle, now joined by Gómez de Enterría.
Gómez de Enterría's professional career is complemented by extensive academic activity. He teaches collective bargaining and corporate restructuring at IE and is an honorary professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid on its Master's programme for access to the legal profession. He currently also teaches labour law practice on Universidad Villanueva's Master's programme for access to the legal profession, and regularly takes part as a lecturer and speaker at institutions and organisations such as APD, IESE and Spain's Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Eduardo is a member of the International Bar Association (IBA), International Labour Association (ILA), FORELAB and ASNALA, a regular contributor to the American Bar Association, and a professional mediator accredited by the Ministry of Justice. His track record has also been recognised by Chambers & Partners in the Employment area.
Alejandro Touriño, managing partner of ECIJA, notes: "Eduardo's appointment fits fully within our growth and consolidation strategy in Spain. We continue to move forward with steady progress, and we will soon be announcing the appointment of new partners and teams that will strengthen our position and allow us to keep growing in the Spanish market."
For his part, Eduardo Gómez de Enterría says: "Joining ECIJA is an enormously exciting professional challenge and a truly significant step forward in my career. What really sets this firm apart is its leadership in innovation and digital transformation, combined with a rigorous, multidisciplinary and deeply client-focused legal practice. Joining such a dynamic team with such a clear vision of the future allows me to offer our clients a comprehensive response, tailored to the challenges of a global and constantly changing market."
Gómez de Enterría's appointment is part of the growth strategy of ECIJA's Madrid office, which throughout 2026 has added top-level professionals to strengthen strategic areas such as Real Estate, Compliance, Industrial Property, Legal Operations and Financial Regulation, with the appointments, among others, of Iván Azinovic, Jorge Martínez de la Fuente, Laura Alonso, Rocío Catalá and Eva Santervás.
With this latest move, ECIJA continues to advance its multidisciplinary growth strategy, strengthening its capabilities in highly specialised areas and consolidating teams capable of supporting leading companies through their transformation processes and most complex legal challenges.
