ECIJA incorporates Silvia Zamorano to strengthen its Compliance practice

In line with the growth strategy set by the firm, ECIJA is bolstering its compliance department with the addition of Silvia Zamorano as a new partner in the Madrid office.

With over twenty years of experience in strategic advisory services to clients in regulatory compliance and cybersecurity, Silvia Zamorano has extensive knowledge of national and international regulations in the field, with a particular focus on ethics and integrity, corporate criminal liability, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering.

Throughout her extensive professional career, Silvia has been involved in integrating regulations into compliance models for large groups and has vast experience in standardization processes and advisory and secretarial roles for Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) and supervisory and control boards. Additionally, she has worked on the design and global execution of corporate compliance programs at both national and international levels, internal risk maps, process and audit flowcharts, internal whistleblowing channels, compliance due diligence, and third-party compliance.

Before joining ECIJA, Silvia built the Regulatory & Compliance area at Deloitte Legal, where she developed her career over the last decade.

She holds a Law degree from the University of Málaga, a Master’s in Legal Practice and Corporate Legal Advisory from the Carlos III University of Madrid, and an Executive Master’s in Corporate Law from Garrigues & Harvard Law School. Silvia has also pursued her academic career as co-director and professor of the Master's in Sustainability, Good Governance, and Compliance at the Universidad San Pablo CEU and as an associate professor at IEB.

The Compliance area of ECIJA, recognized by Chambers and Partners, is strengthened with Zamorano’s addition to the team, which already includes 8 partners and over 20 professionals in Spain. According to Alejandro Touriño, Managing Partner of ECIJA, "this addition strengthens our commitment to having the best professionals in the sector, who will bring their experience and knowledge in key areas for advising our clients. Furthermore, it represents a significant step in our multidisciplinary growth strategy."

For her part, Silvia Zamorano expressed that she is beginning this new professional phase at ECIJA, enthusiastically taking on the challenge of strengthening the firm's Compliance area: "I am very excited to join ECIJA, an innovative firm with great growth potential both nationally and internationally, with which I fully share vision, values, and culture. I am convinced that, together with an exceptional team of professionals, we will drive the growth and development of the Compliance practice in an increasingly digital and global environment. I am sure that, thanks to the synergies with other areas, the resources, and the excellence of ECIJA, we will provide a swift and comprehensive response to the current needs of the market."

With this move, ECIJA now has over 215 partners and more than 1200 professionals globally.
