For some, Lloreda Camacho & Co. is ‘the firm with the highest level of specialisation in Colombia in health, pharmaceutical and consumer law issues’. The interdisciplinary life sciences team draws on experts in regulatory affairs, patents, compliance, data privacy and competition law, which equips it to provide life sciences companies with full-service advice that spans health regulations, labelling, marketing, data exclusivity protection and clinical studies, among other areas. Head of the patent and life sciences department, Ana María Castro, is widely recognised as a leader in the Latin American market, and one client testifies that ’her vision not only encompasses the local, but also provides a regional and global perspective’. Among Castro’s key relationships, she manages patent portfolios for Gilead Sciences, Incyte Corp and F Hoffmann-La Roche. Administrative law partner Daniel Cardona specialises in advising domestic and multinational companies in the pharmaceutical and food sectors on health legislation; he recently acted alongside Castro to advise Takeda on the process of obtaining marketing authorisation for its Qdenga vaccine. Rounding out the names at partner level is regulatory specialist Enrique Álvarez, who co-heads the life sciences practice and is noted for his strength across a wide range of fields, including consumer law and regulatory affairs. Maria Alejandra De Los Ríos, who serves as associate director of the data protection and commercial contracts practices, also supports the life sciences unit.
