The 2026 edition of the IAM Patent 1000 ranking once again highlighted the work of our team, recognizing Lerman & Szlak among the leading patent law firms in Argentina and internationally.
At the individual level, the ranking recognized three key members of the firm’s patent practice:
- Celia Lerman, founding partner, was identified as a central figure within the team, with a distinguished track record in the design and implementation of international patent protection strategies.
- María Laura Etcheverry, who joined the firm last year as Senior IP Manager, was highlighted for her experience and practical approach to patent law and her ability to provide strategic advice in the protection and enforcement of key developments.
- Shirly Galante, who was also recognized by this ranking last year, was noted for her strong experience in patent prosecution in Argentina, her technical expertise, and a working style that is precise, clear, and results-driven.
In addition, we were recognized in the Bronze firm category, standing out for our strategic approach to complex transactions and its ability to prevent intellectual property conflicts. The ranking also emphasized our work with clients in the technology sector, who value the combination of legal judgment, dedication, responsiveness, and cost efficiency.
At Lerman & Szlak, we remain committed to providing close, strategic counsel, supporting our clients in the protection and commercialization of their innovations. This new recognition further reinforces that commitment.
