EJASO is a law firm specialised in Business Law and Corporate Law, with a trajectory of more than four decades and a strong vocation for growth and innovation. Founded in 1984, it has evolved from a pioneering practice in Employment Law and Competition Law to become a leading multidisciplinary firm, with presence across all key legal areas relevant to businesses and with a clear focus on providing comprehensive and strategic solutions that deliver value to its clients.
Thanks to this evolution, the firm is positioned among the main national law firms in terms of revenue, with more than 330 high‑level professionals who combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of the business environment.
EJASO has a solid and professionalised organisational structure, guided by modern leadership that integrates experience and legacy with a new generation of lawyers. This approach has strengthened its position in both traditional and emerging areas, such as digital law, intellectual property, capital markets, compliance and startups, alongside key practices such as tax, litigation and arbitration, and insolvency and restructuring. At the same time, the firm maintains a strong commitment to innovation and specialisation through dedicated units capable of delivering comprehensive and tailored legal solutions.
What role does internationalisation play in EJASO’s growth strategy?
Internationalisation is an essential component of EJASO’s growth strategy. Beyond geographical expansion, it reflects our vision of accompanying clients wherever they conduct their business, and of anticipating the needs that arise in an increasingly interconnected world.
Internationalisation allows us to build long‑lasting relationships with both global and local clients, provide coordinated legal advice across multiple jurisdictions, and position ourselves as a strategic partner for companies with cross‑border operations.
What objectives does the opening of the Miami office pursue within this roadmap?
The opening of our Miami office, completed at the end of 2024 together with a local firm, is the result of a strategic decision aimed at strengthening our presence in the United States and Latin America.
Miami is a natural hub for trade and investment between both sides of the Atlantic, and it enables us to more directly support Spanish companies operating or seeking to expand in the region, as well as American companies looking for specialised advice in Spain and Europe.
This physical presence enhances our ability to provide personalised, high‑quality legal solutions aligned with our clients’ needs.
How does having a physical presence in key markets improve client service?
Being physically present in key markets allows us to offer a closer, more agile service that is better adapted to local realities.
Operating on the ground facilitates a deeper understanding of the regulatory, business and cultural environments in each region, resulting in more accurate and effective advice.
This approach increases trust and proximity with our clients and enables us to anticipate risks and opportunities with greater precision than remote advisory models.
What types of companies or projects do you most frequently support between the Americas and Europe?
We frequently support companies engaged in cross‑border activity between the Americas and Europe, ranging from investment and commercial expansion projects to complex corporate reorganisations and wealth‑protection strategies.
We have significant experience advising family‑owned businesses and medium‑sized and large companies that require comprehensive and specialised legal counsel—including regulatory, contractual, tax and compliance matters—across diverse markets and sectors.
What role does Portugal play as a bridge to other international markets?
Portugal is a market we consider strategic within our international roadmap. Its geographic, cultural and economic position makes it a natural bridge to markets such as Brazil or Angola, with strong linguistic and commercial ties.
It strengthens our ability to provide coherent advice to clients seeking growth opportunities beyond the Iberian borders, supported by a sound legal and business framework that complements that of Spain.
Alongside growth, how does the firm approach talent acquisition and retention?
Talent acquisition and retention is a cornerstone of our strategy. We firmly believe that technical excellence is built on committed, cohesive teams with a strong sense of belonging.
To achieve this, we foster an environment that combines continuous training, professional development, work‑life balance, and an internal culture based on respect, teamwork and innovation.
This model not only attracts highly qualified professionals but also helps retain talent and ensures continuity in the quality of service we deliver to our clients.
How are specialised units integrated within EJASO and what value do they provide?
EJASO’s specialised units are designed to provide comprehensive, tailored legal solutions that combine deep legal knowledge with a thorough understanding of current business challenges.
These units cover areas such as Artificial Intelligence, ESG, Compliance, Capital Markets, Media & Entertainment, Debt Recovery, and Damages Claims, among others.
They are structured as multidisciplinary teams that work in a coordinated manner to offer an excellent service that anticipates risks, supports clients at moments of complexity, and generates opportunities for sustained growth.
How is EJASO’s reputation and recognition reflected in the market?
EJASO’s reputation is reflected in its positioning among the leading national law firms in terms of revenue and in distinctions received in prestigious legal rankings, which highlight both the quality of its departments and its ability to provide strategic advice in key areas of business law.
This recognition is a testament to the collective effort of the team and to our ability to successfully address the most complex legal challenges in a globalised business environment.
