Garrigues

Garrigues has IP practitioners across its offices in Spain, most of whom are based in Madrid. The firm is recommended for contentious and non-contentious IP work. Former patent examiner Mónica Arizti Acha heads its IP department. Acha is supported by Carolina Pina Sánchez and João Miranda de Sousa, who splits his time between Madrid and Lisbon. Both practitioners are highly recommended for trade mark work, though Pina Sánchez also has a copyright practice. The partners are supported by a team of IP associates, notably Fernando Rubiano Fernández and Antonio Muñoz Vico.

"They are concise, reachable, practical and understand the needs of their clients. They always look into workarounds and the Garrigues team have become part of our legal team. They are also up to speed and flag any upcoming regulations that they know would be relevant for us. "

"We appreciate their professionality and technical knowledge."

"Garrigues is always very close to us, and their opinions are given as if they were part of our company. They work as if they were in the staff of the company, not to earn more money. When the best decision is to withdraw they also recommend that option to us, even if it means they will not earn more money with this patent."

"They have a deep knowledge, are responsive and know the different issues not only in Spain but in the EU in general."

"We appreciate their SLA, accuracy, and strategic and pragmatic approach. They have knowledge of business and market practices."

"We value the immediate response and feedback as well as their commitment to the case."

Counsel Alejandro Sánchez del Campo left the firm in 2021.

Case studies show patent work for clients such as Hero AG and Telefonica.
