BLP fields a sizeable team of ‘very professional and dedicated lawyers with extensive knowledge of intellectual property’, handling the full gamut of trade mark, patent and copyright matters in Guatemala, as well as joining up with the firm’s offices in Central America to provide a multi-jurisdictional service. The firm assists a growing roster of international clients with the management of their IP portfolios, with standout strength in advising global pharmaceutical, tech and telecoms companies, and has also expanded its offering to cover health regulation, consumer protection, data privacy and advertising matters. In addition, the team has been increasingly active in IP litigation, including cancellation, nullity and opposition actions. ’Unmatched’ practice heads Luis Ruiz and Pamela López lead the regional IP group and the national practice, respectively. The enviably deep bench also includes senior associate Melanie Avea and associates Marleni García and Daniela Meza.
