Our services include all legal aspects of the pharmaceutical product life cycle, from the research, development and performance of clinical studies in human beings to the compliance review of a dossier with the requirements necessary for obtaining health permits (as well as for the modification or renewal of such permits) and clinical data protection strategies.

Once a product has been authorized for commercialization, we advise our clients in terms of public tender, drafting and negotiation of distribution, supply and commercialization/license agreements, among others. We take special care in verifying that such contracts meet pharma industry´s codes of ethics, as well as anti-corruption, antitrust and ESG regulations.

In the healthcare industry, we advise on regulatory, sanitary, and environmental matters for the planning, construction, and operation of hospitals, as well as the regulatory aspects of medical services (in-person/telemedicine/medical apps) and human clinical trials.

We advise our clients in matters of public-private partnerships in the life sciences sector, as well as mergers, divestitures, acquisitions, manufacturing, licensing (in & out) and joint ventures in Mexico’s dynamic life sciences industry.

We continuously advise technology firms and other medical providers in the development of different devices and applications for digital health (such as medical apps, software or artificial intelligence).

Whenever our clients’ rights have not been adequately honored, we work efficiently with our administrative, arbitration or commercial litigation teams (which have developed a notorious experience in pharmaceutical litigation) in order to uphold their rights before judicial or arbitral instances.
