Special Legal Consultant (Colombia). Artificial intelligence, intellectual property, international policy, and cross-border legal strategy.
The Firm

IZQUIERDO combines founder-led judgment with a carefully selected network of counsel and senior advisors across key jurisdictions.
Regulatory obligations are implemented differently across jurisdictions — not uniformly applied. The advice that matters understands the difference. Andrés Izquierdo
Andrés Izquierdo has spent his career, since 2003, at the operational core of intellectual property — inside the industry, on enforcement front lines, and at the highest levels of international IP policy.
At the policy level, he has engaged in WIPO treaty negotiations — including the Design Law Treaty and the Genetic Resources Treaty — advised national governments on copyright modernization, and published widely on AI regulation, text and data mining, and digital platform governance with Oxford, the Max Planck Institute, Kluwer, and De Gruyter.
On the industry and enforcement side, that experience spans years inside Sony Music, cross-border strategies for Ferragamo and Gucci, and direct partnership with IFPI Colombia on major enforcement actions.
In 2026, he founded Aipolis — a separate company that turns the firm's expertise into AI agents for AI-law compliance and IP enforcement.
