Client Satisfaction

Marval O’Farrell Mairal‘s highly specialised, standalone life sciences practice is the first port of call for premier international and local clients, and leverages the firm’s full-service capabilities to provide comprehensive, multi-disciplinary advice that covers large, complex cross-border life sciences and healthcare transactions, antitrust issues, regulatory matters, product registrations, compliance, and patent prosecution and enforcement. The firm is frequently called on to assist multinational life sciences and healthcare businesses with setting up operations in Argentina, and will also lead and coordinate pan-regional deals in the sector. Practice head Martín Mosteirin is an industry reference and advises major life sciences clients on a wide range of regulatory, transactional and contentious matters. A talented bench of senior associates, including Camila Leone (who has a focus on M&A, healthcare claims, and restructurings) and Carolina Andrea Ramírez (who routinely advises on regulatory strategy and compliance) provide capable support.
