Martínez-Echevarría Lawyers

What Martínez-Echevarría Lawyers does

Martínez-Echevarría Lawyers is a privately held Spanish law firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Madrid, operating through 20 offices across Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the UAE. The firm provides both legal advisory and judicial representation services to businesses, families, and individuals, organized across 18 specialized practice areas including corporate and M&A, tax, financial and capital markets, energy, real estate and urban planning, litigation and international arbitration, labor and social security, insolvency and restructuring, digital law and IP, criminal and corporate compliance, maritime and transport, sports law, and family and inheritance.

The firm is legally owned through Right Option, S.A.P., a Spanish public limited company registered in Madrid (CIF A-86.366.895). Its senior bench is structured as coordinating partners per practice area, drawn from former State Attorneys, prosecutors, judges, magistrates, and university professors. The firm employs more than 325 professionals (337 per firmographic data), with Vicente Morató serving as Managing Partner. The firm has been independently recognized in Chambers & Partners Europe 2025, Best Lawyers 2025, and the Expansión annual ranking of Spanish law firms.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through engagement-based, quote-driven legal work for a horizontal mix of corporate, family, and individual clients, delivered through 20 office locations. Distribution is relationship-led and field-based rather than via digital self-service; the firm supplements this with content marketing through its blog and ME Channel video platform, and presence across LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter/X. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm has not raised external funding and reports no M&A, restructuring, or leadership turnover in the input data.
