What Ceca Magán does

Ceca Magán (legal entity: Ceca Magán Abogados, S.L.P.) is a full-service Spanish law firm headquartered in Madrid with approximately 50 years of operating history and seven offices across Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Vigo, Valencia, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife). The firm employs 190+ professionals, including 170+ lawyers, and delivers 22 distinct practice areas spanning labor and social security (its flagship area, ranked top-5 in Spain), M&A, corporate and contract law, tax, litigation and arbitration, criminal law, public and regulatory law, urban planning, environment, data protection and digital law, restructuring and insolvency, banking and finance, real estate, immigration, family law, IP, compliance, consumer law, and emerging areas such as blockchain/digital assets/Web3. The firm extends coverage to 160+ jurisdictions internationally through alliance networks rather than foreign offices.

The revenue model is professional-services based, with fees set through formal engagement proposals (Propuesta de Servicios) carrying 30-day validity and 7-day payment terms. Billing structures include project-based engagements, recurring retainer arrangements (igualas), and time-bag allocations, all invoiced monthly. Customer segments are predominantly Spanish enterprise and corporate clients, with a secondary focus on family businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs, and public administration. The firm does not sell through third-party intermediaries, has no e-commerce or self-service channel, and conducts all client engagements through direct office contact.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by content marketing (legal blog posts published multiple times per week), earned media coverage in Spanish business publications, active presence on LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, and YouTube, and event programming with organizations like the Entrepreneurs' Organization. The firm's marketing leverages consistent recognition across all major international legal directories (Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, Best Lawyers, Leaders League, Iberian Lawyer). Corporate legal advisory represents the primary commercial motion, with enterprise clients across industries including banking (CaixaBank, BNP Paribas), automotive (Mercedes-Benz, MAN), retail (Starbucks, El Ganso), energy (Repsol), insurance (DKV, GES Seguros), industrial (Saint-Gobain), hospitality, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing, alongside nonprofit and public-sector mandates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement terms are negotiated per project or retainer.
