The ‘solid and experienced’ IP practice at Clifford Chance draws on the firm’s extensive international network to handle high-value copyright matters for international investors and blue-chip companies. Its work encompasses the acquisition of interests in the rights of major brands and sporting teams, as well as copyright litigation and arbitration, regional enforcement and licensing programmes. The vastly experienced Miquel Montañá leads the practice, which is based in the firm’s Barcelona office, and specialises in contentious matters and competition law. IP and unfair competition litigator Josep Montefusco, who has a niche in advertising law, and ‘exceptional’ senior associate Juan Cuerva de Cañas are the other key names to note.
