About Vilches & Associates
Competence, Proximity, Agility.
The people who make up VILCHES Y ASOCIADOS continually update their knowledge in order to meet regulatory and technological changes as well as the changing needs of their clients. We provide advice tailored to the requirements of each client, in their field of specialisation and with qualified experts.
We listen to our clients in order to understand their needs, understanding proximity to the client not as a commercial instrument to gain their loyalty, but as a necessary requirement to be able to attend to their needs and respond correctly to their requests.
When it comes to protecting Trademarks, Inventions or Designs, as well as when there is a conflict with an infringer, speed in acting is very important, and we have been able to build working habits and procedures that allow us to be very agile in responding and even more agile in reacting to any adverse circumstance.
