About Romanini...
Romanini Advogados was founded in 2010 in response to the needs of companies seeking specialized, high-quality legal advisory services at a cost suited to the reality of small and medium-sized businesses in the healthcare products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics sectors.
Since then, more than 300 companies have been served, with over 400 lawsuits aimed at enforcing the law, as well as countless advisory projects that have visibly delivered tangible results to our clients.
Our legal practice is specialized and crafted with care, focused on assisting clients who face challenges in improving health and well-being in Brazil through the introduction of new technologies in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and all products regulated by ANVISA (the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency).
Carla Melo Romanini, registered with the Brazilian Bar Association – São Paulo Section (OAB/SP) under No. 212.497, began her legal career in 1999, working for North American multinational corporations in the telecommunications and healthcare sectors. She has served as a specialist in contract, corporate, and regulatory law at a law firm and worked in the legal department of a Japanese multinational, where she was responsible for contract, corporate (corporate governance), civil, and labor litigation matters.
In 2010, she founded her own law firm — a boutique practice dedicated to providing personalized legal services to clients in sectors regulated by ANVISA and to foreign companies seeking to enter the Brazilian life sciences market.
She holds a Law degree from UniFMU (2001), a Specialization in Contract Law from PUC-SP, and is currently pursuing a degree in Biomedicine at Universidade Estácio. With over 25 years of experience in regulatory, corporate, and contract law, she combines legal expertise with a deep understanding of the life sciences sector.
