Pérez-Llorca continues to build its presence in the IP and technology market, thanks to its ‘experience, reputation and deep understanding of where industry regulation is today’. IP litigator Eduardo Castillo and technology and intangible assets specialist Andy Ramos Gil De La Haza (who is ‘the most prominent and best games lawyer in Spain’) lead the practice. Ramos recently assisted Fútbol Club Barcelona with the sale of Metaverse, NFT and web3 rights to Socios.com, which included an in-depth analysis of the rights that the club was entitled to offer based on previous agreements with sponsors and other third parties. Associate Diego de la Vega also plays a key role in the practice.
