The practice at Pérez-Llorca routinely supports pharmaceutical, medical device, food and beverage, cosmetics and digital health companies on a wide range of regulatory matters. Its work spans the contentious front, with the team defending clients against sanctions, fines and enforcement measures imposed by COFEPRIS, PROFECO and CANIPEC. The team is also well versed in securing COFEPRIS approvals and marketing authorisations, as well as ensuring cross-border compliance between FDA and Mexican regulatory frameworks. Enrique Muñoz (who was promoted to the partnership in January 2026) and counsel Carlos Castilla, co-lead the team. Muñoz specialises in environmental law and healthcare regulatory matters; Castilla, in turn, focuses on administrative litigation, typically representing clients before federal and local administrative authorities. Associate Georgina Zavala regularly advises clients on obtaining authorisations, concessions, licenses and permits, as well as defending them in litigation.
