The group’s full offering ranges from infringement disputes, anti-counterfeiting litigation, trade mark protection strategies and enforcement actions to franchise issues, licensing, sanitary registrations and consumer protection. The practice is led by Hernán Pacheco, the managing partner of EY Law in Central America, Panama, and the Dominican Republic, who brings over 25 years of experience.
