About Us
DELESPINASSE
Haiti’s IP Group
Our IP Group consists of the leading IP law firm in Haiti (Cabinet de Lespinasse) and an IP services company (DELESPINASSE IP LLC) created in 2026 to offer clients the benefits of working directly with a U.S.-based entity.
Why DELESPINASSE?
Working with DELESPINASSE provides the operational efficiency of a US-facing entity paired with the unmatchable ground-level expertise of Haiti's premier IP law firm.
Peace of Mind
We execute every instruction with rigor and care. Our quality‑control systems reduce risk in Haiti’s non‑digital IP environment, delivering error‑free work that protects your rights.
Pleasure to work with
Our experienced and curious IP professionals will quickly understand your specific needs and thoroughly explain how they can meet them. In addition, by thinking outside the box, we look for practical solutions as well as legal ones.
Trust from long-term relationships
For five generations our focus has been to stay consistent in the high quality of service we provide. Doing so is how we have buit trust over time. We take pride in making our clients look good.
