Career
As Counsel in our Milan and Rome offices and a member of our International Life Sciences and Intellectual Property groups, Mauro has a longstanding reputation as an expert in both the regulatory and IP aspects of life sciences.
With over 15 years’ experience advising clients across life sciences, he offers legal advice on medicinal products, medical devices, food supplements, cosmetics, plant protection products and in relation to regulatory, IP issues and commercial issues. He helps leading clients manage product classification issues, R&D and clinical trial matters, authorisation/registration/certification procedures, RDP issues, market access issues, including early access programmes, price and reimbursement issues. He also advises on pharmacovigilance/materiovigilance, compliance, including advertising and interaction with HCPs, HCO, Patient and Scientific associations, cannabis legislation and eHealth (including Telemedicines) and all the relevant commercial agreements.
Before joining Bird & Bird in 2008, he spent several years working for medical authorities including the Italian Ministry of Health, the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). In particular, during his time at the EMA, he was responsible for all legal matters relating to IP protection and innovation development.
He provided legal support to the Paediatric Committee (PDCO) and the Name Review Group (NRG) and also contributed to the Advanced Therapy Regulation implementation. He was responsible for providing a full range of pharmaceuticals advice, including on generics and data exclusivity issues, biosimilars, parallel import and parallel distribution issues, orphan drugs, SMEs and transparency issues. He was also a member of the EMA Innovation Task Force, which specialised in product classification and borderline issues.
He is fluent in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese in addition to my native Italian, in which he often speaks and writes on matters in life sciences and IP.
