The IP team at Hernández & Cía is adept at handling trade mark prosecution and litigation, copyright cases, licensing and publicity rights. Following the departure of former practice head Enrique Cavero in August 2024, the firm has restructured the department, hiring principal associate Giancarlo Baella (as a partner) from Payet, Rey, Cauvi, Pérez Abogados the same month; his broad practice takes in competition, commercial and administrative law, as well as IP. Baella is supported by senior associate Carlos Holguín, who has extensive experience in copyright and patent matters (particularly those related to the education and mining sectors); and intermediate associate Adriana Garces (competition, IP and regulatory matters), a September 2024 arrival from Bullard Falla Ezcurra Abogados.
