Brazil: Life Sciences
Brazil has seen a steady stream of investment into research and development in the life sciences industry over the past few years, which has generated more work for Brazilian lawyers in this field. Despite the need for better legislative clarity and more effective regulations, Brazil’s life sciences marketplace has improved and its generics market is growing. This year we feature 10 lawyers.
