Her practice covers all aspects of trademarks.

She also advises on patents, utility models and industrial designs, negotiation of trademarks and contracts related to intellectual property.

Margarita also stands out for her commitment to diversity and social aid. She has actively taken part in pro bono initiatives as an advisor to Fundación Reina de Quito, an institution that supports children with Down’s syndrome. She has also been involved in social campaigns like the Inter-American Intellectual Property Association’s blood donation and shoe donation campaigns, which demonstrates her dedication to humanitarian causes.

Her participation at these organizations not only reinforces her international profile, but also means she is at the forefront of trends and developments in the field of intellectual property.
