International and Spanish food manufacturers and brands routinely turn to Baker McKenzie, which fields a ‘large team of people with different skills', covering transactional, competition and IP matters. Based in Barcelona, Cristina Duch draws on her strong background in trade marks and IP litigation to assist clients from the food and beverages sector with IP rights, advertising and unfair competition issues. Juanjo Corral oversees the team in Madrid, and is the first point of contact for private equity clients engaged in M&A in this space.
