Mexico > TMT
With the June 2023 hire of Miguel Ángel Margáin (from Pérez Correa González), ECIJA further strengthened its TMT offering in Mexico, a field in which it has been steadily growing and diversifying in recent years. The team focuses on clients from the media, sports and e-sports, IT, and telecoms sectors, with advice varying from corporate governance, commercial agreements and compliance, to IP, data protection and outsourcing. Margáin joins a team of five key partners that jointly oversee the industry group: corporate and commercial law expert Ricardo Chacón; Joaquín Rodríguez, who focuses on data protection and e-commerce; compliance specialist Berenice Sagaón; and Kaynicté Pérez who advises national and international companies on new technologies, internet law, e-commerce, sponsorship agreements and contract negotiations. Both Sagaón and Pérez were raised to the partnership in December 2022.
Mexico > Intellectual property
Leveraging its presence across Latin America and Iberia, ECIJA fields an IP team in Mexico that acts as an integral part of the firm’s coordinated registration and protection offering for the range of IP categories. The firm’s longstanding specialism in TMT matters gives it an extra edge in digital law issues and its IP client base has considerable overlap with the digital technology space. The hire of new practice head Miguel Ángel Margáin (from Pérez Correa González) in June 2023 has substatially strengthened the practice group. Martáin is supported by dedicated senior associate Georgina García – who ‘has an impressive ability to offer straightforward solutions’ and is experienced in portfolio management across a variety of businesses. Additionally, office managing partner Ricardo Chacón oversees the full range of IP work, while TMT-practice co-head Joaquín Rodríguez is also active in relation to IP matters.
