What’s Said about us?

“An outstanding cohort of associates at the firm take inspiration from Gabriella Bodden and Aaron Montero. Bodden brings incredible international expertise to the practice and is brilliant at getting things done in the Caribbean and other locales. Meanwhile, Montero is a patent and trademark ace and a veritable IPauthority.”
(WTR1000 -2020)

“…one of IP’s finest..”
(LATINLAWYER)
“They are excellent”
(Client’s Opinion, Chambers & Partners, Confidential Report)
“Gabriela Bodden co-heads the department and possesses know-how across a range of IP matters, with strong experience handling trade mark registration across the Caribbean region. Market sources describe her as “key to the firm.” Another commentator remarks that “she has a strong background in IP and is successful at attracting clients.”
(Chambers and Partners -2020)
Pan-Caribbean
“Cross-jurisdictional IP cases are bread and butter for Eproint; the IP boutique boasts unbeatable regional coverage from the Caribbean to South America, being fully acquainted with the workings of over 40 Latin American legal systems. As a result, the group has become counsel of choice for multinational marquee clients and has established itself as a top IP authority in the sub-continent – a status well-earned by duo Aaron Montero and Gabriela Bodden. A prominent brand guru, founding partner Montero has a keen eye for asset commercialisation, while IP all-rounder Bodden anchors the international practice with her unrivalled Caribbean expertise.”
(WTR1000 -2020)
Costa Rica
“Unbeatable in terms of its coverage of the Central American and Caribbean regions, Eproint excels at delivering sophisticated and customised cross-border IP strategies to well-known international brands. Especially strong when it comes to trademarks – but proficient in all areas of intellectual property – the team renders commercially astute advice and proves itself not only efficient handling routine matters but also highly adept at dealing with complex trademark issues, such as designation of origin disputes and non-traditional trademark protection.”
(WTR1000 -2020)
“I think it is not very helpful to go through any US firm when dealing with Latin American countries. I do not see any advantage. It is always my approach to go directly into a country, which is why we use Eproint”
(Client, Unpublished Latin America Chambers & Partners)
“They are very reliable and efficient. Their strength is their proficiency and expertise on IP legislation and practices covering the whole Central America and Caribbean region”
(Client, Unpublished Latin America Chambers & Partners)
