国浩律师事务所近日与西班牙ECIJA律师事务所签署了战略合作协议，未来两家律所将在法律业务合作、青年人才培养、市场业务拓展等领域展开合作。
根据国浩的一份新闻稿，ECIJA律师事务所成立于1997年，拥有约450名执业律师，除西班牙外，在智利、哥斯达黎加、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、多米尼加、危地马拉、萨尔瓦多、巴拿马等中美洲及拉丁美洲国家设有办公室，其在TMT、信息科技、知识产权、数据保护领域尤为专精。
国浩于2013年正式设立了马德里办公室，是第一家布局西班牙的中国律所，现拥有约50名西班牙注册律师。国浩首席执行合伙人吕红兵说：随着中国“一带一路”在欧洲的基础设施建设项目、中欧班列项目、西班牙瓦伦西亚和毕尔巴鄂港口扩建项目等不断推进，必将助推中西贸易额持续增长。ECIJA管理合伙人Alejandro Touriño则表示，未来两所将共同打造跨越欧亚和拉美的全球法律服务体系。
