Ceca Magán adds two tax counsels in Barcelona
Ceca Magán Abogados has added Adela Martín and Enrique Viola as counsels in the tax practice of its Barcelona office. Both have more than 20 years of experience in domestic and international taxation, family business advice and tax litigation.
The hires are intended to consolidate a tax practice that supports clients in strategic decision-making and in preventing and resolving disputes with the tax authorities. By combining tax planning, specialist advice and defence in tax proceedings, the firm aims to address client needs in line with their business and personal-wealth objectives.
Esteban Ceca, managing partner of Ceca Magán Abogados, said: “Strengthening our teams means bringing in professionals with a solid track record, specialization and the ability to understand our clients’ real needs. Taxation has a direct impact on investments and the continuity of businesses. The arrival of Adela and Enrique strengthens our capacity to offer rigorous answers, anticipate tax challenges and support companies and business families in decisions of great strategic relevance, with a global view of their needs.”
Miguel Lobón, managing partner of the Catalonia office, added: “Catalonia is a priority for Ceca Magán and we want it to remain one of the firm’s growth drivers. We are building a team that combines specialization, proximity and a deep knowledge of the Catalan business fabric, with particular attention to family businesses. The addition of Adela and Enrique strengthens our ability to support clients in decisions that shape the future of their businesses: growing, tackling a succession or defending their interests in a tax dispute. Both bring experience and judgment, as well as a way of understanding the profession that we share: getting involved in every project and working as a team to offer useful answers to business owners.”
