Arias

The Guatemalan IP team at Arias frequently joins forces with the firm’s other offices in Central America to provide leading international brands with ‘unparalleled’ support across multiple jurisdictions. Acting for high-profile names in the consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, fashion, automotive and chemicals sectors, the team is adept at advising on the management of trademark and patent portfolios, and also has robust experience in IP litigation, particularly criminal anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting actions. In addition, the team continues to grow its expertise in advertising campaigns, software licensing and new technologies. The ’outstanding’ Ivón Hernández, a go-to adviser on IP matters throughout Central America and the Caribbean, leads the practice. In addition to IP, senior associate Cristina Ortega contributes significant knowledge in data protection and emerging technologies.
