Ceca Magán Abogados surpasses €30 million in revenue following 21% growth

The cumulative growth over the last 5 years has been 160%, a result of the sustainability of its business model.
By Heidi Maldonado

Ceca Magán Abogados closed the 2025 financial year with turnover exceeding €30.1 million, consolidating its position as one of the leading multidisciplinary law firms in the Spanish market and reinforcing a model grounded in sustained growth, specialisation and technical excellence. The figure represents a 21% increase on the previous year and underpins projected growth of over 20% for the coming year, supported by significant lateral hires and team expansions across several practice areas and offices since the start of the year.

In the words of Esteban Ceca Gómez-Arevalillo, the firm’s Managing Partner, “Surpassing €30 million is not merely a financial milestone; it confirms a firm model designed to support companies when decisions are truly strategic. Our growth is a direct result of our clients’ trust, the rigour of our teams and a clear vision: to provide legal certainty and sound judgement in an increasingly demanding business environment”.

Growth with strategic direction

The firm continues to consolidate its leadership as a multidisciplinary practice, strengthening a comprehensive advisory model that combines technical excellence with commercial insight and positioning itself as a reference point in the mid-market segment. Over the past five years, the firm has recorded cumulative growth of 160%, reflecting the resilience of a sustainable model, the consolidation of long-term client relationships and an organisational structure designed to deliver profitable, sustained expansion.

In 2025, the firm reported 26% growth in its client base, an indicator of continued market confidence, competitive positioning and the robustness of its value proposition. During the year, this strategy translated into particularly strong performance in areas closely linked to strategic decision-making and corporate management.

Employment law maintained solid momentum, growing by more than 14% as it advised companies on organisational transformation and talent management processes. Corporate law increased by 23%, reflecting activity in corporate transactions and restructurings, while tax recorded growth of 29% amid heightened regulatory complexity and strategic planning demands. The digital law practice rose by 31%, driven by increasing demand relating to artificial intelligence, data governance and blockchain-based asset tokenisation as components of emerging business models. Litigation, up 26%, further consolidated its role as a core area for corporate clients.

Enrique Ceca Gómez-Arevalillo, adviser and Managing Partner of the firm’s employment practice, noted that “the 2025 results reflect the consolidation of a multidisciplinary firm model that has reached full operational and strategic maturity around three pillars: deeper involvement in critical business decisions, support in corporate transformation processes, and the ability to anticipate regulatory and reputational risks”.

National reach and local management

In parallel, Ceca Magán has decisively strengthened its commitment to regional presence, driving the growth and consolidation of its offices in Barcelona, Vigo and Seville as strategic hubs for client proximity. These offices have experienced sustained expansion, supported by in-depth knowledge of the business landscape in each region and the integration of highly specialised teams.

In quantitative terms, this positioning has translated into robust annual revenue growth across the regional offices. Over the past year, the Barcelona office recorded a 23% increase, Vigo 43%, and Seville — following the addition of new practice areas — grew by 205% compared with the previous year. The figures reflect strong development aligned with the firm’s strategic objectives and the solidity of its regional implementation model.

Talent, excellence and firm culture

Talent remains one of Ceca Magán’s strategic pillars. The firm currently comprises more than 220 professionals and a consolidated partnership of 42 partners, reflecting a sustained commitment to internal progression, technical excellence and the long-term continuity of the project. Team growth during the last financial year has enabled the strengthening of key practice areas and the consolidation of specialised capabilities across all offices.

The firm’s strategy centres on attracting, developing and retaining leading talent through clearly defined career paths, continuous training and a culture grounded in collaboration, leadership and meritocracy. This approach seeks not only to ensure high-quality client service but also to support sustainable growth consistent with Ceca Magán’s values and long-term vision.
