Now constituting the Mexican arm of Pérez-Llorca following their merger, the legacy life sciences practice from Gonzalez Calvillo has a strong regulatory offering across a variety of market segments. In the medical sector, the team is well versed in compliance matters concerning both test procedures and medical devices, while in food and beverages the department enjoys broad market coverage. Reflecting the historical anomaly of a common regulatory root in Mexico's environmental and life sciences legal framework, the firm’s environmental team also collaborates closely with the life sciences group. Leading the team are counsels Enrique Muñoz Guizar and Carlos Fernando Castilla, with associate support primarily provided by senior Georgina Zavala, who is adept across environmental, agrarian matters and life sciences law.
