Many international publications like MANAGING IP, CHAMBERS & PARTNERS, LEGAL 500, TRADEMARK WORLD, PRACTICAL LAW COMPANY (PLC) and others have consistently recognized us in a specific manner as one of the leading Intellectual Property law firms in Peru in the last years. They have also recognized individually the work of our Senior Partner Francisco Espinosa Bellido who was been avowed with the highest distinction of “Senior Statesman” from the publication CHAMBERS & PARTNERS. On the other hand, our managing partner Francisco Espinosa Reboa has been consistently mentioned among the leading IP attorneys in Peru for the last years.
