Sargent & Krahn is ‘a firm that maintains excellent service quality, is innovative in the technology sector, and a leader in IP matters'. Widely praised for its advice to major companies and entrepreneurs, the sizeable practice covers the gamut of IP work, as well as IP-related issues, such as domain names, social media, the internet, IT, personal data protection, consumer rights, unfair competition, high-stakes IP litigation, and advertising. The firm fields several experienced practitioners, namely senior counsel and trade mark and domain names leader, Alfredo Montaner; Juan Pablo Egaña, who specialises in invention licences, industrial secrets and technology transfers; and trade mark and domain name expert Eduardo Lobos, who ’takes great care to understand his client's needs’. The next line of key advisers includes Cristian Barros M, whose practice encompasses patent and trade mark law, along with prosecutions, IP enforcement, contracts, and IP portfolio management (both in Chile and abroad); and trade mark prosecution specialist Pablo Cariola, who heads up the firm’s infringement department. At associate level, senior Gabriel Pensa, as well as Daniela Guerrero, Alejandra Varela and Macarena Correa, are all experienced practitioners. Carolina Flisfisch rejoined the firm in April 2024, as partner, from Chilean financial and banking sector technology company, RedBanc, where she led the legal department.
