Both multinational pharmaceutical corporations, as well as local companies active in this sector, constantly face a number of challenges on the regulatory and compliance, transactional and contentious fronts. In fact, the Greek market is no stranger to complex and ever-changing laws and regulations in the pharmaceutical and health care sector.
