CECA MAGÁN Abogados appoints Almudena Medina as partner and signs Miguel Lobón as partner of the commercial area in the Barcelona office, as published today by the newspaper Expansión and on its website (only for media subscribers).

With the signing of Miguel Lobón, the firm continues its commitment to growth in Barcelona. The commercial lawyer has 12 years of experience in advising companies belonging to family groups; he is also Secretary of the Board of Directors of numerous companies linked to the technology, real estate, retail, pharmaceutical and nautical sectors.

With a degree in Law from the University of Barcelona, he has a master's degree in business from the Barcelona Bar Association and has completed the executive development program at the IESE Business School at the University of Navarra, which gives him a profile that is very focused on business development. Miguel Lobón says about his arrival to the firm: "It is a great challenge for me to join a project such as CECA MAGÁN Abogados, which has experienced great growth in recent years. I hope to be able to add to consolidate business and bring new clients, as well as to continue providing value in the boards of directors in which I participate -mainly family businesses- which require making decisions in times like the ones we are living".

In addition, in the Madrid office, Almudena Medina, until now head of the tax area, has become a partner in the area. With her appointment, the firm now has more than thirty partners, eight of whom are women. Our tax lawyer has a degree in Law from the University of Carlos III of Madrid and has been educated in several international universities. She lived in the USA for three years, during which time she specialized in Spanish-American cross-border taxation and registered as a professional authorized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the completion and filing of federal taxes in the United States.

On his appointment, he comments: "Success in a professional career lies in choosing your fellow travelers well and taking advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. I have been fortunate to learn from the best, and to always surround myself with great professional teams. This has helped me so that the challenge I decided to join in 2017 to start up a tax department in CECA MAGÁN, culminates today as a success not only personally, but collectively of those who trusted me for this project, of those who are part of it and of those who are joining to make it bigger".

Esteban Ceca Gómez-Arevalillo, managing partner of the firm, adds about the appointment of Almudena Medina and the signing of Miguel Lobón: "Our premise is to support talent and people with desire, how? by promoting people from the "house" and adding professionals from the sector who contribute business, but also ideas. We believe that both will be key to continue growing and offering the best service to our clients. In the legal sector, which has been so competitive in terms of recruitment in recent years, being able to attract and retain specialized professionals who are prepared to practice law in an agile manner is a challenge that we want to continue to consolidate in our firm".
