Lawyer Rankings
Argentina > Intellectual property
Marval O’Farrell Mairal is the “go-to” practice for all transactional, contentious and tax-related IP matters. Having started out as an IP boutique before growing into a dominant full service operator, the firm boasts a formidable practice of more than 40 dedicated IP lawyers who handle the gamut of IP work – ranging from local patent, trade mark and copyright litigation and enforcement, to handling IP prosecution and portfolio management for clients across Latin America and the Caribbean. The practice is also able to draw on expertise from other departments of the firm, most notably in the area of criminal law, and offers clients extensive expertise in patent applications and trade mark prosecution too. The team’s enforcement unit, which deals with damages arising from counterfeiting activities, is another differentiator. The practice calls on a deep pool of senior talent that includes Iris Quadrio, who supports domestic and foreign clients across a range of IP matters; trade mark expert Sergio Ellmann; patent litigation and filing expert Martín Bensadon; and IP litigation and anti-counterfeiting veteran Gustavo Giay. A strong cohort of younger partners provides further bench strength and includes Ignacio Sánchez Echagüe (patents); IP litigator Martín Chajchir; Juan M López Mañan (trade marks and domain names); Cristian D Bittel (patent prosecution – particularly for pharma, biotech and agribusiness clients); and Diego Fernández (IP transactional matters and IT and privacy related advisory), along with Andrés O’Farrell (criminal litigation, enforcement and anti-counterfeiting) and Eugenio Hoss (patents). Manuela Adrogue, who covers IT, data protection, privacy and IP asset transactions, is the key contact at associate level.
