Santamarina y Steta

Santamarina y Steta offers end-to-end expertise in IP, with a strong track record in both securing and defending rights across multiple jurisdictions. Its trade mark practice is particularly robust, encompassing rights acquisition, portfolio management for market expansion and strategic advice on cross-border protection. On the contentious side, they handle infringement and cancellation actions, appeals and high-profile litigation, with notable strength in enforcement through anti-counterfeiting and risk mitigation efforts. A capable duo leads the team: José Pablo Pérez Zea, a seasoned expert with over three decades of experience across the full IP spectrum, and junior partner Daniel Legaspi, who focuses on maximising the value and profitability of clients’ IP and intangible assets, with a growing interest in the intersection of IP and AI. Efraín Olmedo provides consistent associate support as an IP litigator and has entertainment and video game industry expertise. María Ordorica made a healthy addition to the team in October 2024, with previous experience as an associate for OLIVARES.
