Garrigues

Client Satisfaction

Led by ‘fast, brilliant and super practical’ IP and digital business partner Carolina Pina and experienced IP prosecutor João Miranda de Sousa, Garrigues' IP practice stands out for its strength in both contentious and advisory work. Whether advising on infringement, commercial contracts, M&A deals, filings, portfolio management, or emerging issues such as AI, neural marketing, NFTs or augmented reality, the firm ‘delivers pragmatic advice’. The copyright lawyers frequently act for internet platforms, content providers, sports organisers, fashion/retail companies, and clients in the automotive sector. IP and technology litigator Cristina Mesa, newly promoted art and entertainment law partner Antonio Muñoz, and associate Ricardo López Alzaga all play significant roles in the firm’s high-profile matters.
