Since the firm was founded, at the time as a junior associate, Mr. Campello has focused his practice on relevant matters for pharmaceutical, biotech, cannabis, medical device, and cosmetics companies. His wide-ranging practice includes assisting clients in their day-to-day business operations, but also handling complex time-sensitive litigations and consulting projects in the context of clinical trials review process and sponsor’s responsibilities; application for marketing approval and post-marketing amendments before Anvisa; pricing before the Chamber of Drug Market Regulation (CMED); product liability; M&A transactions; general commercial and contractual matters; and investigations of Anticorruption practices and food and drug violations. Aside his regulatory practice, Mr. Campello also works on the Government Procurement arena, having helped clients to win and challenge successfully bids and single source-type acquisitions. He has been deeply involved with the implementation of the Productive Development Partnerships (PDP) Program, a Federal Government’s Industrial Policy for the pharmaceutical and biotech sector. More than once, Mr. Campello has helped clients to submit proposals and to put in place PDP agreements with Government-owned pharmaceutical industries for small molecules and biologics.
