When compliance becomes litigation, precision becomes defense.

Sanitary Law & Litigation in the Health Sector
In a field as highly regulated as the pharmaceutical and health industry, legal defense and compliance strategy must coexist.
Pharmacounselors® stands at the intersection of law, regulation, and science, providing comprehensive representation in all matters arising under Sanitary Law and the General Health Law of Mexico, as well as related administrative and criminal frameworks.
Our Sanitary Law & Litigation Division assists companies facing enforcement actions, plant closures, recalls, administrative sanctions, or patent infringement disputes — ensuring that every response is legally sound, strategically coordinated, and scientifically supported.
We act when the stakes are highest.
Our Sanitary Law & Litigation Services include:
- Legal representation before COFEPRIS, IMPI, and Federal Courts in all administrative and judicial procedures.
- Defense against sanitary measures such as temporary or permanent facility closure, license suspension, or product seizure.
- Appeals and administrative challenges against fines, sanctions, and compliance findings.
- Legal defense in product recalls or quality-related incidents, ensuring due process and brand protection.
- Patent and trademark infringement litigation, including injunctions, oppositions, and enforcement before IMPI.
- Criminal defense in public health matters, where individual or corporate liability may arise (e.g., unauthorized product sale, falsified labeling, or contamination cases).
- Negotiation and conciliation with authorities to restore operational status and compliance continuity.
- Crisis management legal strategy, aligned with corporate communication and regulatory remediation plans.
Why is specialization essential?
Because Sanitary Law is not ordinary administrative law — it merges public health, scientific regulation, and complex legal frameworks.
Only lawyers trained specifically in health regulation can interpret and defend actions before COFEPRIS and related agencies with the precision this sector demands.
Pharmacounselors® provides this exact protection — combining Regulatory Affairs experts, scientific analysts, and litigating attorneys with proven experience in pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech cases.
Objective:
To preserve business continuity, protect intellectual and sanitary assets, and defend companies and executives under the strictest standards of Mexican and international health law.
