Founded in 2003, Ferraiuoli LLC (FLLC) has, in a very short period of time, positioned itself as a leading law firm in the Puerto Rico market. Its expertise in complex practice areas is widely recognised. FLLC has become one of the preeminent Puerto Rican law firms.

FLLC is a leader in intellectual property law in Puerto Rico. It has the largest and most diverse IP practice in Puerto Rico. FLLC IP lawyers are frequent lecturers and writers and are considered to be leaders in the field. FLLC’s patent practice is its flagship but FLLC also has leading practices in technology law, internet, trademark, copyright and entertainment law. FLLC’s trademark practice has clients all around the world. The firm maintains close ties to a worldwide network of trademark practitioners to facilitate international registration for its clients. FLLC partners founded the Puerto Rico Bar Association IP Commission, headed the Puerto Rico IP Law Institute and Chaired the American Bar Association TIPS Section IP committee, among other accolades.

FLLC’s corporate department works not only general corporate law matters, business organisation and contracts but also other areas of practice such as mergers and acquisitions, commercial lending, real estate and notarial practice and wills, trusts and estates. A one-stop-shop for corporate clients’ needs, FLLC’s corporate department focuses on the elements needed to properly operate a successful business from a legal perspective, whether it is a domestic or foreign enterprise operating in Puerto Rico. FLLC’s corporate clients range from start-up ventures and individual investors to local concerns and Fortune 500 companies.
