Pharma, Lifescience & Healthcare
Our Pharma and Life Sciences practice advises clients in a sector marked by a volatile regulatory environment and persistent concerns around counterfeiting, delivering legal solutions that address both risk mitigation and strategic growth. Our lawyers bring deep expertise in clinical trials, liability management, insurance, and regulatory compliance, and we draw on this combination to guide clients through the industry with confidence.
We support clients across the full lifecycle of pharmaceutical products and healthcare innovations, from intellectual property management and regulatory compliance to ethics committee training and the preparation of clinical trial agreements, privacy policies, terms and conditions, and informed consent agreements for Health-IT applications. Our experience in liability management feeds directly into this advisory practice, as the same team that advises on compliance and liability exposure also structures clinical trial agreements and related frameworks upfront, so that clients build in the right protections from the outset rather than addressing them after the fact.
Our intellectual property work spans trade secrets, patents, and trademarks, both within and beyond the health and pharmaceutical sectors, and includes patent landscaping to assess the economic and technological value of a client's portfolio. We work alongside health and information technology experts to bring scientific and technical perspectives into this advice, while our corporate law team handles statutory compliance under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and related regulations. Our lawyers have also served as resource persons at Health-IT and telemedicine conclaves and at leading hospitals, on subjects ranging from forensic medicine and medical ethics to telemedicine operations and liability.
This experience carries through into day-to-day regulatory work, including securing manufacturing and import licences, facilitating medical device registrations, formulating trade secret protection policies, and supporting data privacy and protection infrastructure. When liability issues arise, we manage them end to end, from assessing exposure and advising on compensation and insurance matters to guiding clients through resolution, bringing the same regulatory and compliance experience that shapes our upfront advisory work to clients facing a claim.
