Maria is an intellectual property attorney focused on trademark, copyright and related matters. She is often called upon to handle complex due diligence investigations of IP rights in the context of acquisitions or financing, and develops strategies to obtain, enforce and defend worldwide trademark portfolios. Her clients include both multinational companies in a multitude of industries who face complex issues and require sophisticated and solid advice, and individuals who just need simple and straightforward counseling. Maria works with some of her clients in very close relationships as in-house counsel would do, or takes on special engagements. Maria is also a seasoned litigator who artfully asserts claims of infringement and defends against them, but most importantly advises clients on litigation-avoidance. She is creative, practical, focused and yet thorough. Her many years of experience in all types of intellectual property (she is also a patent attorney) and in the broadest range of matters, combined with her experience in litigation (both IP and in corporate/commercial matters), make her the attorney you want on your side of the table. At GRR, Maria is assisted by talented associates and paralegals who, together, ensure the work product provided to clients is nothing but exceptional.
