Alessandri & Compañía Abogados

The 15-strong team at Alessandri & Compañía Abogados is widely respected for its IP expertise. The group, which (in addition to lawyers) comprises patent technicians, engineers, chemists, biotechnologists and designers, is highly experienced in the processing of applications, as well as freedom-to-operate issues, prior art studies and drafting invention patents. The firm’s corporate team routinely works alongside its contractual, regulatory and antitrust colleagues on large public tenders for public hospitals and private healthcare institutions; and recent growth includes advising on public procurement system reforms and regulatory compliance strategies. Experienced in designing strategies for the global protection and licensing of innovation and patents, Santiago Ortúzar co-leads the firm’s intellectual and industrial property offering; while at associate level, senior Francisca Donoso and Francesca Bozzo are the names to note.
