IP is a signature strength of the ‘excellent’ Palomo Abogados, making it the ‘firm of choice’ for major multinationals from industries including pharmaceuticals, technology, and food and beverages. The team’s close links with international firms are an asset for clients seeking the management of their IP portfolios in Guatemala and throughout Latin America, as is its broad offering of IP services, spanning trademark, copyright and patent matters, as well as technology transfer and data protection. Litigation is also a key area of expertise, particularly anti-counterfeiting actions; in addition, the team frequently offers training and advice on customs issues. At the head of the practice, Héctor Palomo is active in complex litigation and wins praise from clients for his ‘extensive experience in the anti-piracy field’, and director Sandra Iriarte, who is highlighted as ‘a great leader’, advises on the administration and enforcement of IP portfolios.
