We work extensively with pharmaceutical, bioscience, medical device, academic, and other research entities on licensing, collaboration, and commercial transactions involving products and technologies at all stages of the product life cycle and the company’s development. Our diversity and breadth of experience, deep industry knowledge, and understanding of the interplay of economic, governance, regulatory, and intellectual property issues enable us to provide comprehensive advice and anticipate the array of issues that may arise.
In a highly regulated industry such as life sciences, easy access to regulatory lawyers to advise on these arrangements is critical. We draw on the depth of our life sciences practice and work seamlessly with our regulatory experts to provide unparalleled transaction support.
