Life Sciences and Technology
The field of life sciences is enormous and the sector crosses over many law practice areas and touches an incredible number of traditional, new and advanced technologies.
Every company, entrepreneur or inventor in this sector faces a number of complex legal and regulatory challenges that need to be effectively and efficiently addressed. Not that other companies in other sectors do not face similar challenges but, the differentiating factor of the life sciences sector is that it involves considerable discovery and scientific achievement. And this makes the field even more challenging. The more challenges the more the risk. Managing the legal risk successfully leads to greater rewards.
Companies starting in this sector, established and incumbent companies wishing to stay at the forefront and remain competitive. This requires a multi-disciplinary team of lawyers to handle a complete range of legal issues, from research and development to manufacturing, to marketing and sale, from intellectual property and analyses of sector-specific IP to digital identity, data management and data protection issues.

Are you an academic institution or a research and development scientific partner? Are you a company on the cutting-edge of medicine? Are you developing therapies to address diseases? Are you a startup or a spinoff pioneering potentially life-saving technology? Are you looking to patent an invention?
