Pérez-Llorca often handles complex regulatory issues concerning early access programmes, clinical trials, and market authorisations. Practice co-head Eduardo Castillo has longstanding experience in unfair competition and patent litigation, while fellow co-lead Juan Rodríguez Cárcamo stands out due to his vast knowledge of public procurement proceedings and disputes. Natalia Olmos is a key name for administrative issues relating to public procurement and asset liability claims. Rais Amils is no longer at the practice.
