Cuatrecasas, a pioneer law firm in the transformation of the legal sector, has created Cuatrecasas Innova, a new brand grouping together all the firm’s open innovation initiatives, to meet the growing needs of the entrepreneurial and technological ecosystem.
The entrepreneurial ecosystem has experienced exponential growth worldwide in recent years, with a significant increase in corporate innovation programs and in new investment funds. Startups and innovative companies are facing unique challenges in various sectors, particularly in the legal sector. Having identified these needs, Cuatrecasas has decided to develop a strategy that promotes innovation with an open focus. Designed to foment collaboration and the exchange of ideas, it provides access to knowledge, tools, resources and opportunities to facilitate the creation of an environment where players and communities can contribute and find synergies.
“After 10 years driving innovation at Cuatrecasas and in the legal sector, we launch Cuatrecasas Innova to, on the one hand, better organize the growing initiatives we are developing and, on the other hand, to give greater momentum to these initiatives,” says Francesc Muñoz, CIO at Cuatrecasas.
Cuatrecasas Innova brings together all of the firm's open innovation initiatives.
Over 150 lawyers from our offices in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Portugal and Spain make their legal expertise available for this initiative, to make the most of the firm's knowledge and optimize the exchange of value between the different proposals and ecosystem players. Cuatrecasas Innova has a solid infrastructure with which it aims to forge new collaborations, enabling it to develop new programs and projects that meet future needs.
“Cuatrecasas Innova emerges as a natural evolution to extend our presence in the ecosystem with new initiatives, spaces and collaborations, ensuring the viability and sustainability of innovation from a legal perspective,” says Diana Rivera, partner at Cuatrecasas specialized in venture capital and private equity.
Cuatrecasas Innova marks a decisive evolution in the firm’s consolidation as a leader in legal innovation, facilitating new forms of international collaboration to continue promoting the sector’s transformation.
