Zacarias & Fernández

SINCE 1981, FROM INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO GENERAL PRACTICE

Over the last four decades, ZACARIAS & FERNÁNDEZ has been actively committed to consolidating and enhancing Intellectual Property within the Republic of Paraguay. They are confident that a political, economic, and social system, in which endless sources of new ideas and inventions drive progress and wealth, rests on a legal framework of unrestricted respect for Intellectual Property rights.

Their firm has been actively involved in assisting and consulting various public offices of the Paraguayan Government in developing new policies and drafting legislation in conformity with the guidelines established by the TRIPS agreement and other relevant international law organizations.

Similarly, in December 1996, together with other distinguished Paraguayan practitioners, they established the National Group of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), which regularly joins forces with other organizations to protect and promote IP matters on a number of fronts, such as ASIPI, ASPI, ABA, ABPI, AAAPI, AIPLA, ECTA, IABA, IPO, INTA, ITMA, LES, APRAM, GRUR, PTMG, MARQUES and IACC.

Their footprint extends to academia, with several of their firm’s attorneys serving as professors of Intellectual Property Rights in prestigious Law Schools in their country.

Since the millennium, they have also managed to successfully expand the expertise of their firm into general practice, particularly in corporate and litigation matters. This expansion has been driven by their desire to holistically meet all the legal needs of their clients, who have always praised our full commitment and most importantly their reliability.

Since their foundation in 1981, their core goal still remains clear: to be a competitive and efficient legal team, aware of our clients’ needs.
