Health and Sanitation Law

In a market where food safety, agricultural sanitation and the protection of the population’s health is an ethical duty of entrepreneurs and businesses, it’s important to respect the regulations issued by each of the national control entities. In response to this need, we support our clients in complying with the official and legal requirements that derive from their obligations in health and sanitation matters. We manage interactions with sanitation authorities to guarantee the rights of businesses and facilitate managing records and registration, with these authorities and between individuals. We collaborate in the contractual management of rights and in obtaining due sanitation registration.

 

Our wide net of correspondents allows us to facilitate import and export processes of products that undergo sanitary controls. If needed, we provide our clients defense representation in cases of sanctions or other law-suits brought forth by the State.

 

The organized and agile management at Velasco Ordóñez, gives our clients the certainty that their products duly comply with each national control entity’s requirements.
