Baker McKenzie advises clients on contentious public law matters and regulatory risk mitigation strategies, with the team particularly noted for its work in the areas of public procurement and state expropriation. Other niche lines of expertise include pharmaceuticals, where the group represents clients in administrative and judicial procedures related to orphan drugs and clinical research regulation; and social network liability and regulation issues. The team also assists with permitting, environmental and compliance matters. Practice lead Luis Dates is a respected public and administrative law expert and works closely with dispute resolution partner Santiago Maqueda, who covers regulatory assessments, complex litigation and arbitration. Following the September 2024 departure of Agostina Spizzo (commercial and investment arbitrations), Juan José Catalán (transactional matters) is the main associate contact.
