ECIJA bolstered its offering in Mexico in June 2023 with the addition of Miguel Ángel Margáin who arrived from Pérez Correa González to take over leadership of the practice. He adds further experience to a team that was already well established in the market segments comprising the TMT sector and regularly works at the conjunction of digital law and IP advice. Margáin's trade mark practice is also a significant boon to the firm’s clients. Senior associate Georgina García focuses on the protection of IP rights at all stages, from initial registration, to statements of use, drafting of license agreements, transfers, renewals and oppositions.
