Brigard & Urrutia opens IP practice, April 1, 2000

The leading Bogotá firm, which until now has dealt with IP matters through a cooperation with a separate specialised IP firm, Brigard & Castro, has decided to start dealing with IP matters in-house, setting up a new department headed by Carlos Umaña T and Maria Fernanda Castellanos. It will focus on IP and specifically on consumer protection law and competition matters. The decision to set up the new department marks the end of the existing arrangement with Brigard & Castro.
