By Heidi Maldonado

Ceca Magán Abogados, a leading multidisciplinary firm specialising in business law in Spain, has announced the opening of a new office in Valencia. This strategic move strengthens its ability to support companies operating in the Valencian Community and across the Mediterranean economic corridor.

With this new location, the firm reinforces its territorial presence, now boasting six offices in Spain: Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Vigo, the Canary Islands and Valencia.

The new office will be led by Rafael Villena Badía, a professional with a solid track record in tax and international matters, whose appointment brings a strategic perspective that is particularly relevant for companies with an international presence or complex corporate structures.

The new office forms part of the firm’s sustained growth plan, through which it continues to expand its territorial presence in order to offer specialised, close and high-quality legal advice to local, national and international companies.

In the words of Enrique Ceca Gómez-Arevalillo, advisor and managing partner of the firm:

“With this new office we are strengthening our coverage in the country’s main economic centres and, at the same time, advancing our international vocation, supported by the specialisation and experience in international taxation that Rafael Villena brings.”

A strategic commitment to the Valencian business ecosystem

The decision to establish an office in Valencia reflects the strategic importance of a region characterised by strong economic dynamism and a significant presence in key sectors such as agri-food, logistics, technology and renewable energy.

In recent years, the Valencian Community has consolidated its position as one of the country’s leading hubs for business activity, attracting investment and generating opportunities for national and international companies.

With this new opening, Ceca Magán continues to strengthen its territorial coverage with the aim of consolidating its position as a leading law firm at the national level, capable of offering comprehensive legal solutions adapted to the realities of each market.

The Valencia office will provide advice in key areas of business law, initially focusing on taxation and international mobility, while progressively incorporating the rest of the firm’s strategic practice areas, in line with the services offered at its other offices.

Local leadership with an international vision

Rafael Villena will assume executive leadership of the Valencia office. He specialises in international taxation and tax planning, with experience advising companies on cross-border transactions and complex corporate structures.

His profile combines technical expertise with strategic vision, enabling the firm to strengthen its value proposition in areas such as corporate taxation, investment structuring and legal support for companies with international operations.

In the words of Rafael Villena, partner in the tax department:

“It is an honour to join Ceca Magán at such a significant moment of growth for the firm. Valencia is a business hub with a clear international dimension, and our objective is to support companies in addressing their tax and strategic challenges, particularly in an increasingly demanding global environment. From this new office, we will strengthen our close, highly specialised and business-oriented advisory services.”

With this addition, the Valencia office further strengthens the firm’s ability to provide specialised advice on international transactions, corporate taxation and investment structures, consolidating its position in the field of business law.

A 2025 financial year that consolidates the firm’s growth

The opening of the Valencia office comes at a particularly positive time for the firm. During 2025, Ceca Magán Abogados exceeded €30 million in revenue, representing a 21% increase compared with the previous year.

Over the past five years, the firm has recorded cumulative growth of 160%, driven by market confidence, the specialisation of its teams and a strategy focused on supporting companies and business groups in their key decisions.
