IP firm Silva has an enviable market reputation for its advice to domestic and foreign companies on trade marks, patents, copyright, data privacy, and domain names. The 11-member practice is also sought out to assist with geographical indications and designations of origin, along with significant enforcement and litigation work. Co-leading the practice, founding and managing partner Juan Pablo Silva's track record includes representing the IP rights of multinational companies from the financial services, retail, telecoms, media and sports industries; Francisco Silva's current practice incorporates heavyweight international trade mark and patent cases; and Ricardo Montero is a trade mark, domain name and copyright expert. The second line of key practitioners features Andrés Grunewaldt, a litigator and specialist in geographical indications and designations of origin; copyright and patent practitioner Rodrigo León; and recently-promoted partner Sebastián Alvarado. The practice further expanded during 2022 through the recruitment of associates Manuel Concha, Isidora Palma and Victoria Correa from Ruiz Salazar, Grupo EFE (state railway company) and software company Lemontech, respectively.
