Mabel Klimt remains a managing partner at the firm.
The outgoing president, Ignacio Diez de Rivera Elzaburu, will continue to serve as Director of Operations.
Alfonso Diez de Rivera Elzaburu is the new president of ELZABURU. He is an attorney, an industrial property agent, and a European patent agent. He and his predecessor are brothers and descendants of the family that founded the firm more than 150 years ago. The transition is part of a planned rotation of leadership roles and aims to continue the firm’s path of growth and internal strengthening.
For the new president, the focus will be on offering the best solutions and services to build loyalty among current customers and attract new business:“I take on this responsibility with great enthusiasm and with the confidence that we have a strong workforce that also benefits from the excellence we have cultivated in our work methods and processes over the years.”
After a successful tenure, Ignacio Diez de Rivera is stepping down as president to focus on the Operations Department and continue leading ELZABURU’s technological and digital transformation. This department has launched major projects such as ELZACLOUD and has optimized the firm’s digitization efforts in process and case file management. “We have been technological pioneers and a driving force in the sector, and we face the challenge of continuing to innovate in order to adapt to market demands quickly and efficiently.”
This leadership transition is in line with the exciting transformation the firm embarked on two years ago. According to managing partner Mabel Klimt,“We are following the roadmap we set out back then, with the same enthusiasm and as we tackle new challenges: to sustain growth in clients and services in a sustainable and responsible manner, and to be the go-to firm for clients and colleagues in providing legal advice on all types of intangible assets.”
The company will continue to promote research in emerging fields, such as artificial intelligence, the metaverse, and blockchain, and will continue to launch innovative projects that will be announced over the coming months.
