Nicea is a Madrid-based law firm providing a high degree of specialisation across a number of practice areas, from commercial and financial, through to employment and litigation. It currently comprises 11 partners and has shown steady growth based on a flexible client-oriented approach.

Nicea will join Eversheds International on 1 August 2011 and will be known as Eversheds Nicea. This alliance will see the firm provide the innovative services of Eversheds for both Spanish and international corporate clients. The partnership with Nicea is the result of Eversheds concluding a review of the market following the end of Eversheds’ agreement with partner firm Eversheds Lupicinio.

Stephen Hopkins, Head of International at Eversheds said:

“Our international strategy has always been to provide clients with consistently high quality corporate legal solutions which are accessible across the globe. We have been impressed by the strength of the individual partners and how they operate as a team. Their vision is closely aligned to ours, particularly the firm’s approach to delivering quality, international legal services and their commitment to client service excellence. I am confident that this partnership will be the start of a long and healthy relationship between the firms.”

Javier Ibáñez, Managing Partner at Nicea Abogados said:

“We welcome this opportunity to work with a strong international legal firm/legal brand firm such as Eversheds. Our partners have each had extensive international experience at major law firms and working with Eversheds will not only help to drive the growth of our business, but will enable us to become a part of a high-calibre legal practice that can provide legal solutions to our clients across the globe.”
