Held up by some as a ‘strategic ally’, CMS Rodríguez-Azuero’s life sciences team is strongly weighted towards regulatory work, where it represents a growing roster of domestic and multinational corporations on market approvals, packaging and customs-related issues, among other compliance matters. The full-spectrum group also stands out for its ability to act in tandem with the wider firm’s IP practice to provide patent-related advice. Department head Karl Mutter is a life sciences specialist, who is recommended for his ’practical sense and commercial and corporate instinct’. Associate director Luz Helena Vargas is an increasingly prominent name for sanitary regulations, with strong skill sets in market approvals, labelling and advertising matters.
