Covarrubias

Fielding ‘highly-qualified IP practitioners with great technical and sector expertise’, Covarrubias' 14-strong practice has significant experience in patents, life sciences, trade marks, domain names, copyright, data protection, litigation and technology transfers. Other key areas are plant varieties, internet domain names, advertising, regulatory issues and data privacy; its sector expertise ranges from mining, electronics, pharmaceuticals, media and entertainment, to automotive, healthcare and biotechnology. A specialist in protection strategies for industrial property and copyright, the ’outstanding problem-solving skills’ of firm founder Arturo Covarrubias ‘make him an exceptionally valuable professional for his clients’. At associate level, biochemist Matías Valenzuela leads the patent department; while the firm’s Latin America desk head Fernanda Chamorro ’provides clear and effective solutions’. Former international trade mark department leader Sofia Covarrubias departed in January 2025, since when the firm has hired former Andes IP senior associate Fernanda Olmedo as its new head of trade marks.
