Intellectual property & IT law

We advise local and international companies, small and medium-sized enterprises and large corporations who want to protect intellectual property or regulate and manage its use.

Our approach

Intellectual property (IP) is a critical foundation for any business, as it differentiates products and services while safeguarding the reputation of your brand. Our team collaborates with KPMG's global network, enabling us to provide global protection for your IP and manage negotiations related to its use. With an extensive understanding of local regulations and a vast network of contacts, we can help clients navigate even the most complex cross-border IP issues.
