Licks Attorneys speak about Gabriel Keller being announced as a new partner

Licks Attorneys announces the return of Gabriel Keller to the firm, now as a partner. With a career built on complex intellectual property disputes, Keller strengthens the firm’s team by combining a solid academic background, experience in strategic litigation, and his practice before higher courts.

A Bachelor of Laws of the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), Keller holds a specialization in Intellectual Property from the Center for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI) in Strasbourg and a Certificate of Political Studies from Sciences Po Lyon, both in France. In 2023, he earned his Master’s in Business Law at UERJ, with research focused on patent law.

Keller’s history with Licks Attorneys began in 2017 as an intern. Between 2019 and 2024, he served as an attorney at law at the firm, focusing his practice on highly complex litigation involving patent infringement and invalidity, as well as disputes related to industrial designs, trademarks, and unfair competition.

Throughout his career, he also served as an advisor to the Vice-Presidency of the Federal Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit (TRF-2), assisting in the analysis of appeals to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and Brazil’s Supreme Court (STF).

With his appointment to the partnership, Gabriel Keller strengthens Licks Attorneys’ capacity to handle strategic intellectual property disputes and cases of high technical complexity, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to talent development and excellence in legal services.
