As a senior associate lawyer of the Government Regulatory practice at Hogan Lovells Madrid and, in particular, of the Life Sciences Regulatory team, his position to advise Life Sciences companies from a legal perspective is quite reliable: his deep knowledge of the industry, as well as of the regulatory framework across all relevant legal areas (clinical trials, early access schemes, advertising and promotion, pricing and reimbursement, compliance, etc.), and his capacity to assimilate and digest all the technical information of the products offered by healthcare, pharma, biotech, and medical device companies, provide Álvaro with all the relevant tools to clearly understand the business pressures, needs, concerns, and issues, and come up with agile, well-founded and business-oriented solutions.
He also has extensive experience in other regulated sectors, such as food, automotive, environment, or transportation, as well as on public procurement, advising on food labeling and nutrition and health claims; type approval, vehicle registration, and autonomous driving; sanctioning proceedings relating to environmental matters; processing of transport authorizations; or on the re-establishment of economic and financial balance of public contracts.
Álvaro has also been involved in M&A transactions advising on regulatory, life sciences and environmental aspects.
