Consulte en españolThe premium cigar industry grew up in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras, and so did this firm. For twenty-five years we have represented cigar manufacturers, importers, and distributors on both sides of the border, and tobacco remains at the core of our practice.
That work is the proving ground for everything else we do: regulated products, Spanish and geographic brand names, family ownership abroad, and shipments that must clear several agencies at once.
Our clients make products that cross borders and draw regulators. We handle the name on the box, the permit behind it, the duty paid on it, and the company that owns it, with a single attorney who knows the whole picture.
Ongoing U.S. representation for companies from Latin America and the Caribbean, from the first shipment to a mature portfolio and distribution network, in English or Spanish.
Clearance, prosecution, maintenance, and enforcement of marks in the United States and abroad, managed as one coordinated portfolio.
Federal, state, and international compliance for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of cigars and other tobacco products.
Import strategy and recovery for companies moving goods into the United States from Latin America, Europe, and beyond.
Formation, governance, and the commercial agreements that hold an international group together.
Twenty-five years before state and federal courts and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, in trademark and commercial matters.
Protecting cigar brands is unusually demanding work. A practice built for it serves any brand that crosses a border.
Cigar names are often Spanish, frequently geographic, and always crowded. The owners are manufacturers abroad, the packaging matters as much as the name, and the regulators are never far away. That experience translates directly to other regulated and brand-driven industries.
Many of our clients have been with the firm for more than twenty years. That kind of relationship is built on three commitments.
Thousands of marks prosecuted, maintained, and enforced. Every deadline docketed, every foreign associate coordinated, one attorney accountable for the whole portfolio.
Advice in plain English or Spanish from a firm that has worked with family companies across Latin America for twenty-five years. We know how decisions get made on both sides, so nothing is lost between the factory and the U.S. market.
We measure our work by what it does for the brand, the shipment, and the company, and we tell clients when a fight is not worth having.
