SINCE 1972
Luiz Carlos Coelho began his activities as an intellectual property agent in the early 70s and founded Simbolo IP at a shared office located in São Paulo downtown. Back then, few people knew about the importance of intellectual property rights in Brazil and, facing with the apparent lack of awareness, Mr. Coelho set up one goal: to share his knowledge and disseminate the culture of protection of intellectual property rights. He was admired for his professionalism, competence and commitment with clients.
Fabricio Vilela Coelho and Fernanda Vilela Coelho joined the firm in the 2000s, developed a professionalized management structure and extended the scope of practice internationally. Years of investment in infrastructure and professional training contributed for the growing and sustainability of the partnership.
In 2013, according to the increase of the client’s portfolio to a variety of areas, Simbolo IP became VilelaCoelho, embodying legal services related to the intellectual property field. The continuous expansion of practices has kept our firm’s main purpose: provision of highly specialized services, close proximity to clients (CLIENT CARE ™) and dissemination of culture of protection.
