(Next Generation Partners)The breadth of the IP practice at Gonzalez Calvillo
makes it reliable counsel for companies operating in Mexico, whether they need ongoing advice on rights protection or representation in court on specific issues. A large client base of both domestic and international market-leaders instruct the team, and as the practice has become increasingly recognised, it has acted on more cross-border matters, co-ordinating counsel across Latin America. In a near 30-year career, Pablo Hooper has established himself as one of the market’s leading names across trade mark, copyright, franchising and entertainment matters; he particularly stands out for strategic litigation regarding the protection of intellectual property rights. Co-leading the department alongside Hooper is Alberto Pliego, whose broad slate of work currently encompasses the real estate, energy and technology sectors. In support, associate Lirio Salgado (‘the knowledge she has on the subject is evident’), is the main contact for patents work; and fellow associate Constantino Aquique supports on litigation.
