The 'excellent, very professional' IP boutique TMI Abogados is a robust choice for any major company facing complex contentious IP issues, excelling as it does in dispute resolution in the practice area. The team’s expertise spans all areas of IP but ICT sector litigation is a standout area of proficiency, where it can be considered a go-to advisor; digital copyright infringement is a further area in which the firm dominates the market. There is nevertheless plenty of sector variety in the firm’s client base and the team is well versed in complex IP rights defence across the Mexican market. A trio of lawyers coordinate the department: Kiyoshi Tsuru is a reference point in the market for IP and technology protection and regularly represents clients in complex cases before courts, tribunals and panels; Rodolfo Rangel is a litigator with a specialism in emerging technologies and new business models; and Irely Aquique, also an IP litigation expert, is the senior contact for the firm’s offering in patent, copyright and trade mark filing.
