Backed up by the ‘manpower, resources and experience that few, if any, other firms in Central America possess', the Guatemalan team at regional firm Consortium Legal is well equipped to advise leading Latin American clients on the management of their IP portfolios throughout the region (often with the support of the firm’s other offices), as well as in the Americas, the Middle East and Europe. Demonstrating strength in the food and beverages and pharmaceutical industries in particular, the team handles a high volume of trade mark and patent applications and registrations, and also takes on the full range of IP litigation. Another key asset for clients is the firm’s regional IP software, which organises client information across multiple jurisdictions. Ninoshka Urrutia, who has ’vast experience' in all facets of trade mark, patent and copyright work, leads the practice. Associate Stephanie Arévalo provides capable support.
