Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría
Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría’s IP group is lauded for providing ‘fast, concrete, and business-oriented solutions’. The team leverages the firm’s platforms in Chile and Peru, as well as its association with international heavyweight Uría Menéndez, to position itself as a regional hub for IP matters, with a focus on Andean countries. Practice head Mauricio Patiño combines strength in IP, life sciences, competition and dispute resolution to support clients on a broad range of patent and trade mark matters. The team also includes IP and life sciences specialist Gerardo Flórez, and ’great negotiator’ Camilo Suárez — who were promoted to partner and director respectively in January 2023.
