As a leading IP practice in Colombia and beyond, Cavelier is distinguished by its ability to ‘work collaboratively on complex, multi-jurisdictional litigation with other firms in Latin America’. Housing standalone offerings in patents and life sciences, trade marks and copyright, and regulatory affairs, the team is sought after for its expertise across the full spectrum of regulatory compliance, clearance, prosecution, commercialisation and litigation. Eduardo Varela heads the trade mark, copyright and entertainment practice and recently advised Amazon Studios on the IP aspects of more than 18 original series and films produced in Colombia. Andrés Rincón leads the patent and life sciences area and is held up as an ’expert in IP and regulatory law’. Rounding out the partners is IP veteran Jorge Chávarro, who brings pioneering experience in geographical indications and appellations of origin in Latin America. The team also draws on a talented bench of senior associates, including the ‘outstanding’ Eliana Portilla, who specialises in administrative and judicial proceedings; Johanna Raffo, who advises on trade mark portfolio management; and Cristian Sarmiento, who coordinates the trade mark, copyright and entertainment law group and earns praise for his ’extensive experience and strategic vision’.

Testimonials

- We have worked with Cavelier's Intellectual Property team for many years, and I can confidently say they are an excellent choice when any question arises, including more complex cases in this area in Colombia. What makes their practice truly valuable is the team's high level of technical and legal expertise. The Cavelier team stands out for providing timely responses and well-founded, appropriate strategies for each case entrusted to them. From our experience, I especially value their availability and responsiveness, as there is always a specialist available to answer urgent questions. Furthermore, their consistency is remarkable; the quality of their advice remains constant regardless of which lawyer on the team handles the consultation. This undoubtedly sets the Cavelier team apart from the services offered by other firms.
- They are all very professional, attentive, and friendly; they are always there if needed. Jorge Chavarro and Eduardo Varela.
