Santucci & Alvarez asks the right questions to determine exactly what clients want from their IP portfolios and then leaves no stone unturned to deliver the desired results. Operating efficiently and effectively, but never compromising on quality, founding partner Elisa Santucci and her team have earned the trust and loyalty of brand owners of all stripes. She not only provides clever prosecution strategies and expert court opinions, but also shares her insight with the next generation by lecturing and teaching on intellectualproperty.

For “practical advice regarding brand protection in Brazil and Latin America informed by extensive experience”, this boutique is an excellent port of call. One source comments: “We have used others in Brazil, but we prefer Santucci because of the speed of its response, its flexibility and its more competitive prices.” In a similar vein, another confides: “Some firms have gotten too big to provide a quality service and there are occasions when I’ve had to e-mail lawyers several times before getting a response, which is unacceptable. I now send all my work to Elisa Santucci and co because I know I will get a quick response, and an extremely high-quality one in that.” For all these reasons, Santucci is a repository of trust for many big-name law firms from the United States and other jurisdictions. Kind-hearted and down to earth, she looks out for clients’ best interests – not her own – and goes the extra mile to get desired outcomes as a matter of course.
