The life sciences department at Baker McKenzie Abogados, S.C. is now led by senior associate Carla Calderón, following the departure of practice area veteran Christian Lopez- Silva in June 2024, to establish his own boutique. The practice group remains specialised in multiple areas of law crucial to businesses in the life sciences, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, and clients include a number of global market leaders. Recent highlights have included business separations in a variety of sectors, as well as some of the standout M&A in the Mexican life sciences sector. Complex regulatory assessments and IP litigation are further areas of strength for the team. Calderón has ‘deep knowledge of regulations‘, regularly advising on matters at the intersection of regulatory, data privacy and IP for a diverse client portfolio. A multi-disciplinary team assists Calderón with different issues: Marina Hurtado-Cruz is the name to note for patent matters; Roberto Macias is a transactional lawyer with experience in life sciences; Jorge Ambriz adds foreign trade and customs knowledge; and Roberto Cardona is the contact for administrative litigation in this area, following the departure of Fernando Robles-Pesqueira to a freelance role in February 2024.
