Ecija arrives in Andalusia with the addition of the Lean Abogados team

By Heidi Maldonado

Ecija continues to advance its growth strategy in Spain and reinforces its commitment to Andalusia with the incorporation of the Lean Abogados team in Seville, a strategic market due to its business dynamism, capacity to attract investment and growing weight in the national economy.

The operation involves the addition to Ecija of a team of seven professionals, led by Leandro Sequeiros, Javier Moreno, Fernando Ollero and Francisco Hidalgo, who join as new partners of the firm, along with the rest of the professionals who until now made up the Lean Abogados office in Seville.

The move represents a new step in Ecija’s strategy to incorporate talent and established teams in strategic locations, combining deep knowledge and roots in the local market with the firm’s multidisciplinary, technological and international capabilities.

The new partners and their teams have extensive experience in providing legal and tax advice to companies, national and international groups, entrepreneurs and investors, as well as a solid presence and knowledge of the Andalusian business community.

With these additions, Ecija significantly strengthens its capabilities in the region and expands its comprehensive advisory offering in areas such as Commercial, Tax, Procedural and Labor Law, restructurings and M&A.

The team will operate from its Ecija headquarters on Avenida de la Palmera, one of Seville’s most iconic areas and a strategic location within the city’s business district. From there, the firm will strengthen its ties with companies, entrepreneurs, and investors in the region, offering them a service platform that combines legal and business expertise, sector-specific knowledge, technology, and international reach.

According to Alejandro Touriño, CEO of Ecija, “Andalusia is a key market in our growth strategy in Spain. The addition of this team represents a significant leap forward in our presence in the region and, above all, allows us to strengthen it with the help of highly prestigious professionals deeply connected to the Andalusian business community. We want to combine this local knowledge and expertise with Ecija’s multidisciplinary, technological, and international capabilities to support our clients in increasingly complex and ambitious projects.”

Leandro Sequeiros, partner at Ecija Sevilla, stated that “joining Ecija marks a new chapter for our project. We share the same vision of consulting: client proximity, technical excellence, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Joining a firm with Ecija’s size, technological capabilities, and national and international presence allows us to significantly expand our value proposition and pursue new growth opportunities, while maintaining the expertise and close relationships that have always characterized our client interactions.”

A new step in Ecija’s growth strategy

The addition of the Lean Abogados team in Seville is part of the various strategic moves undertaken by Ecija in recent months and reinforces the firm’s expansion in Spain, with the aim of consolidating an increasingly comprehensive platform to support companies and organizations in their main legal, business and transformation challenges.

The move also comes at a time of strong growth for Ecija, which reached €122 million in global revenue in 2025 and continues to strengthen its position as one of the leading firms in the Spanish and Latin American market and as one of the most innovative law firms in Europe.
