Posse Herrera Ruiz’s multidisciplinary life sciences practice draws on its IP, regulatory and transactional lawyers to handle a broad mix of patent, corporate support and regulatory compliance matters. The group advises domestic and multinational companies from across the industry, with notable experience in the pharmaceutical, agro-industrial, chemicals, and food-and-drink sectors. IP head Helena Camargo fronts the practice and provides ‘the best solutions’, according to some. Carmargo is particularly noted for her experience in international patent and health registration searches and registrations. Former practice co-head and senior associate, Mónica Bonnett, left the firm in September 2023.
