The ‘flexible, strong and well-prepared’ team at Cervieri Monsuárez is a strong choice for counsel on patents, industrial designs, trade marks, copyrights and domain names. Described by one source as ’always at the forefront on IP matters in the industrial sector’, the practice also has market-leading expertise in anticounterfeiting matters. The firm has teams based in Bolivia and Paraguay, with whom the Montevideo-based lawyers collaborate on IP matters. Practice head Virginia Cervieri focuses on trade marks, IP strategy and anticounterfeiting, along with trade mark, patent and copyright lawyer Natalia Paladino. One client considers the pair to be ‘totally trusted advisors’. Pablo Monsuárez and Lucía Cantera specialise in IP litigation, while Anabel Frachia is of key importance on anticounterfeiting matters.
