Hailed for its ‘impeccable service' and ’detailed knowledge of the regulations and jurisprudence in Latin American and Caribbean countries', Palomo Abogados fields a comprehensive IP practice in the region, and significantly strengthened its offering to European clients in 2023 with the return of ‘excellent' associate Paula Passarelli (who is based part time in Madrid) as head of the international IP department. Acting for a host of multinationals from the consumer products, tech, pharmaceuticals and healthcare sectors, the team advises on the prosecution and enforcement of trade mark and patent portfolios, and is particularly active in IP litigation, with a strong emphasis on anti-counterfeiting actions. At the head of the practice, Héctor Palomo is a go-to figure for complex litigation, while director Sandra Iriarte focuses on portfolio management. The talented associate team also includes Flor Méndez, who heads the national IP practice, and anti-counterfeiting specialist Brayan Mejia.
