Leading Adviser Awards 2020

Acquisition International - Leading Adviser 2020 49 Acquisition I ternational - Issue 1 1 57 eidi Lindner is a leading figure when it comes to life sciences, and she has found the perfect home in Arochi & Lindner. Heidi takes an important stand at the top of the chain, in the position both of senior partner and head of the Patent Litigation Department of Arochi & Lindner. Her promotion to this role takes into account the thirty-five years of experience she has in this field, offering her clients a long track record of success. He has been a patent litigator in life sciences subjects and has a consistent record of wins, including several landmark cases, for clients in the pharmaceuticals, biotech and medical devices industries. Many would consider her the foremost voice when it comes to tackling these often-difficult matters. The success of the firm that she is senior partner in comes from an approach that not only considers the importance of her leadership role, but of her position as a lawyer. Heidi combines the two effortlessly, drawing the talent of a large team to ensure success in every case. Few could disagree with her ability to see the market from a holistic perspective, which enables her to act as a tough negotiator who knows the commercial challenges that many will face. One of the most recent success to her name is her participation in the elite private sector team representing the pharmaceutical industry, which advised the Mexican Government in the Intellectual Property Chapter during the negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Free Trade Agreement Mexico-USA-Canada (USMCA/ TMEC). This was a historic and landmark case that demanded the brightest and best that Mexico had to offer, and Heidi was uniquely and ideally suited to the challenge. Combining her skill both for law and for commercial interests, it’s little wonder that she was sought out to be added to this impressive team. Of course, Heidi does not work independently, and has taken up membership of many organisations, not only to practice law, but to ensure that she is constantly on top of the many changes that can affect the way in which the legal system operates. Joining the Mexican Bar Association and the Mexican Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AMPPI) seems like an obvious choice, but as trade continues to flow internationally, it makes sense that she has joined the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), the Interamerican Association of Intellectual Property (ASIPI) and the International Trademark Association (INTA). These allow her to reach beyond Mexico’s borders and find new ways of thinking from an international pool of resources. H The world of life science is one that is changing by the day, and the legal practitioners who specialise in this sector must work hard to ensure that they can provide the leading service that their clients expect.
