ECIJA
Leveraging its presence across Latin America and Iberia, ECIJA fields an IP team in Mexico that acts as an integral part of the firm’s coordinated registration and protection offering for the range of IP categories. The firm’s longstanding specialism in TMT matters gives it an extra edge in digital law issues and its IP client base has considerable overlap with the digital technology space. The hire of new practice head Miguel Ángel Margáin (from Pérez Correa González) in June 2023 has substatially strengthened the practice group. Martáin is supported by dedicated senior associate Georgina García - who ‘has an impressive ability to offer straightforward solutions’ and is experienced in portfolio management across a variety of businesses. Additionally, office managing partner Ricardo Chacón oversees the full range of IP work, while TMT-practice co-head Joaquín Rodríguez is also active in relation to IP matters.
