Work Areas
We’re certain that Intellectual Property plays a primordial role in strengthening innovation and creativity, and in ensuring a businesses’ growth, that´s why we’ve specialized in the registration, protection, defense and litigation of Intellectual Property Rights, using optimal legal tools and cutting-edge technology.
Habeas Data, Privacy and Digital Security
The increasing digitalization of the relationships between people and businesses gives different institutions the duty of maintaining the good use and protection of the personal data that they manage to accumulate. In turn, individuals enjoy the right to know, update and rectify the information that various corporations have collected about them. For this reason, Velasco Ordóñez permanently and rigorously advises its clients on due compliance with guidelines required by legislation in matters of personal data processing.
Health and Sanitation Law
In a market where food safety, agricultural sanitation and the protection of the population’s health is an ethical duty of entrepreneurs and businesses, it’s important to respect the regulations issued by each of the national control entities. In response to this need, we support our clients in complying with the official and legal requirements that derive from their obligations in health and sanitation matters. We manage interactions with sanitation authorities to guarantee the rights of businesses and facilitate managing records and registration, with these authorities and between individuals. We collaborate in the contractual management of rights and in obtaining due sanitation registration.
Competition and Antitrust Law
We advise our clients on expanding their borders effectively and within the law, in order to avoid raising red flags around the creation of monopolies or other risky and costly behaviors. Our strategic advice is an asset for any company, as we guide them through the entire process of integration or restructuring, in order to fulfill all of the competent authorities’ requirements; from properly notifying transactions, to managing authorizations. Likewise, we offer our clients representation as plaintiff or defense in litigation for unfair competition or accusations of alleged monopoly creation.
