We deal with international and domestic corporations within the commercial, services and industrial sectors, that decide to protect their IP rights locally and internationally. This has allowed us to develop expertise in Central and South America, as well as in the US and the Caribbean jurisdictions. In dealing with clients’ concerns, we use an extensive worldwide network of both affiliated offices and an exclusive and experienced group of non-dependent specialist foreign lawyers.

Our team has proven expertise in assisting clients in the prosecution and defense of their IP rights, offering a complete assessment from their creation and registration, onwards to management, and licensing agreements. We also protect the client’s IP rights through enforcement by a range of very successful litigation procedures in both Civil and Criminal Courts, which has made us one of the leading providers of IP legal services.
