Dentons Cardenas & Cardenas’ IP practice is distinguished by its strong local client base and also by its ability to plug into the wider firm’s global IP platform, which makes it an attractive option for foreign clients looking for local — and regional — advice as well as Colombian companies looking to expand abroad. The team’s diverse skill set spans the full scope of IP law, with a focus on trade marks, copyrights and litigation. Leading light Luz Helena Adarve stands out for her ‘unmatched experience’; she advises Colombina on the management of its global trade mark portfolio. Juanita Acosta is also highly regarded for her broad knowledge in the trade mark, technology, privacy, consumer protection and advertising spheres; she has recently undertaken work for Avianca and Microsoft, among others. In September 2023, the department was boosted at top level by the hire of life sciences and IP partner Mónica Bonnett, who joined from Posse Herrera Ruiz. Also noted are senior associates Ana María Ruiz, who brings over 25 years’ of experience, and Rocío Ruíz, who specialises in IP and technology.
