Experienced Business Leaders recognize that Intellectual Property (IP), such as Trademarks and Patents, is a valuable asset that requires protecting. In some cases that asset is worth more than the total of its physical property.  When considering establishing a business or expanding into a new market, consideration should be given to registering and protecting IP immediately and not later.

Intellectual Property is recognized worldwide. However regional and local regulatory environments vary. Therefore, hiring a local expert is essential to protecting your IP and reducing the possibility of counterfeiting or “Passing-Off” (intentionally confusing the consumer as to the origin of the product or service).

Our expertise includes IP portfolio management, assistance and recommendations in product and trademark development, securing of IP registration, licensing, and sale of IP. We accomplish this with the assistance of local, trusted, reliable collaborators such as graphic artists, engineers, and scientific experts, when required. Also, in collaboration with our Litigation Support Team, we will monitor the illegal use of and defend IP rights including Domain Names.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is defined as any act or omission by a medical professional during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient. Medical malpractice is a specific subset of tort law that deals with professional negligence.

What Are the Most Common Medical Malpractice Claims?

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Failure to treat
• Prescription drug errors
• Surgical or procedural errors

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death occurs when a person is killed because of the neglect or other fault of another person. A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members to seek justice on behalf of a loved one who passed away due to an act of carelessness or violence. Family members can recover both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages in a wrongful death claim. Often, a personal representative of the deceased’s estate will be appointed during these claims.

Permanent Injury

Permanent injury occurs when a physical or mental impairment restrict the employment and other activities of a person for the rest of his/her life.

Sometimes soft tissue injuries can be permanent if a severe contusion is sustained to muscles, tendons or ligaments. They can cause lasting effects that never heal properly.

Permanent injuries can include scarring, disfigurement, or dismemberment. Brain injuries, nerve damage, spinal cord injuries, amputation, and burns are some common permanent injury claims.

In a lawsuit to recover damages caused by the negligence or intentional wrongful act of another, a permanent injury may be an important element in the award of general damages.

No one intentionally seeks conflict. It’s in our nature to avoid it. However, when you find yourself involved in a dispute it’s good to know that you have someone competent to represent you. You need an experienced, ethical, and reliable lawyer that you can trust.

One of the most stressful, frustrating, and emotional crises in a person’s life may be when they are experiencing a family or spousal dispute. Understandably, they sense that their lives are destroyed, tragically disrupted and emotions prevail over reason. That is why you need a calm, sympathetic and experienced professional to represent and assist you through these difficult times.

Foreigners living in Mexico should note that, in accordance with International Law, it is not the place where you were married that determines which court has jurisdiction but where you have been a resident for more than 12 consecutive months or where the family/couple have clearly demonstrated to elect as their permanent residence.
