Pérez Alati, Grondona, Benites & Arntsen displays ‘efficiency’ in representing insurance, tech, and automotive companies in claims filed by customers within Consumer Protection agencies worldwide. The issues in dispute often include alleged vehicle accidents, the absence of contracts and warranty coverage, substandard repairs, and poor service. The team also provides general advice on consumer protection and product liability when businesses launch new products, advertising campaigns and contests. Clients also rely on the firm when assessing whether to initiate recall campaigns upon detecting anomalies in its products; if a recall is necessary, the team assists with submissions to the enforcement authority and manages related media scrutiny. The practice is led by consumer protection and advertising specialists Luis Barry and María Carolina Abdelnabe Vila, who are also knowledgeable of competition and data protection law. Associate Sonia Del Regno is well-versed in consumer, fair trade and competition issues.
