PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTH

The regulation of the “Medication Law” and the needs of pharmaceutical companies in the field of industrial property, especially the registration of trademarks and the obtaining of patents, constitute a large part of the legal advice needs of companies in this sector.

Our firm has been linked to the world of industrial and intellectual property (IP) for over 40 years. Our managing partner José Luis Casajuana Espinosa started as a lawyer in the prestigious PONS patent and trademark firm before founding JL Casajuana Abogados. Hence, our trajectory has always gone hand in hand with the progress and development of intellectual property, a matter in which we have advised part of the most relevant clients this office has had.

We have also assisted clients with problems related to the healthcare industry. Among our achievements, our partner Gustavo López Muñoz y Larraz obtained the highest compensation granted in Spain for a medical malpractice issue.

To solve all the needs of companies in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector, a team of lawyers with specialists in different areas is required. Our multidisciplinary organization sectioned by departments allows:

It is a tremendously regulated sector, subject to national and community regulations. From our administrative law department we assist in obtaining licenses and authorizations relevant to each case.
