ECIJA has recruited two new partners to its Madrid headquarters, continuing a growth spurt that has seen the elite Spanish firm add lawyers in Latin America at a brisk pace over the past year.

Patricia Liñán joins as head of the competition law practice from Bird & Bird, where she practiced as a partner. Prior to that she was a partner and head of the competition law department at CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo, the Spanish arm of CMS.
