Ceca Magán Abogados announced the addition of Albert Castellanos as a counsel in the area of digital law and data protection at its Barcelona office, reinforcing its ability to support companies in their digital transformation processes, data protection and management, as well as adaptation to new technological regulatory frameworks.
Its incorporation allows the firm to take an additional step in comprehensive advice in digital environments, accompanying clients not only in regulatory compliance, but also in the secure implementation of technological solutions, the management of risks associated with the use of data, and the legal structuring of innovation projects.
In particular, Ceca Magán strengthens its value proposition in areas such as:
- cybersecurity compliance, such as cybersecurity incident management and response plans.
- Adaptation to data protection and privacy regulations in complex environments.
- Development and implementation of artificial intelligence and data governance projects.
- technological regulatory compliance in highly regulated sectors.
Albert Castellanos holds a PhD in Law from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and received the Extraordinary Doctoral Award in 2023. He has over 10 years of experience in legal and technology consulting, having developed his career in international firms. In addition to his professional practice, Castellanos combines his work as a professor of Digital Law at the UAB with his role as a lecturer at various universities, which strengthens his academic profile and his up-to-date knowledge of the regulatory framework.
Throughout his career, he has advised companies in strategic sectors such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals, energy, insurance, and automotive, providing legal solutions adapted to complex and highly digitized environments.
Esteban Ceca, managing partner of Ceca Magán, commented that “Albert’s addition strengthens one of the fastest-growing and most relevant areas for our clients. Advising on data protection, artificial intelligence, and technological compliance is now a strategic necessity for companies, and having profiles like his allows us to continue anticipating these challenges.”
For his part, Miguel Lobón, managing partner of the Barcelona office, emphasized that “Albert’s addition perfectly aligns with how we envision Ceca Magán’s growth in Barcelona: bringing in top-tier talent to continue building an increasingly robust, specialized, and client-focused project. Digital law, artificial intelligence, and data protection are no longer complementary areas, but rather strategic for any company. We want to stand alongside our clients, supporting them in these challenges with teams capable of combining legal vision, technological expertise, and a practical approach. Albert brings precisely that combination of technical excellence, international experience, and the ability to understand the real needs of businesses. We are confident that his arrival will allow us to continue growing as a team because, as we always say, alone we go faster, together we go further.”
Finally, Albert Castellanos commented that his “joining Ceca Magán represents an excellent opportunity to continue developing a specialized practice in digital law and data protection within a growing firm with a clear client focus. The regulatory environment in technology is increasingly demanding, and it is key to offer rigorous advice aligned with the real needs of companies.”
With this addition, the firm continues to consolidate its position as a benchmark firm in the middle market, reinforcing its capabilities in strategic areas related to digital transformation and regulatory compliance.
