Over the past fifteen years she has worked in the field of intellectual property, developing her career in various areas, currently focusing on pre-litigation trademark matters and Trade Secret consultancy projects.

As she started her IP career María quickly realised that she loved the global approach this area offers. Being able to deal with complex cases that usually involve a multi-jurisdictional perspective and a quick response gave her the necessary background to manage large international patent and trademark portfolios. To her clients she is recognised as a fast and creative lawyer, always ready to go the extra mile to get a positive answer. From her work prosecuting patents she has taken the problem-solution approach to her personal life and her work life, and immensely enjoys solving the complex day-to-day troubles for the companies María represents. Currently she works with brand management on large scale projects, focusing on trademark protection in Spain and EU markets, as well as the usual dealings with other jurisdictions. Due to her experience, María sometimes lectures students on Spanish and European intellectual property law, and also participates in seminars for clients to spread the word about the wonderful and powerful tool IP law can bring to their companies.
