Its diverse client roster includes many multinational and multilatina companies, with a particularly strong presence in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Garnering praise for his ‘extensive knowledge of the subject matter’, Luis Fernando Bermejo co-heads the practice with Juan Carlos Bermejo and also serves as chair of the new emerging issues subcommittee of the INTA.
