The team at Pérez-Llorca has solid experience across both the advisory (licensing, compliance etc.) and the contentious aspects of the life science and healthcare sectors. The practice regularly handles matters concerning the import, marketing, distribution, storage, advertising, and sale of products such as drugs, medical devices, food supplements, food and beverages, spirits, and tobacco products. It is co-led by counsels Enrique Muñoz Guízar, who advises companies on identifying and obtaining the permits, licenses, authorisations, and concessions that they may require for their activities and operations; and administrative litigator Carlos Fernando Castilla, who works across the environmental, regulatory and life sciences segments, and has experience designing complex defence strategies. Key associate support is provided by senior Georgina Zavala who also has an administrative law background and works across environmental, agrarian and social impact; and life science, health care and sanitary regulation matters, including consumer protection and labelling.
