The life sciences sector is one of the most highly regulated industries. These regulations pervade all aspects of the development and marketing of pharmaceutical products. The regulations cover all aspects of business and affect all stages in the supply chain from manufacture to ultimate sale/use.
In the context of a transaction, the extent of regulation together with the long development time of products poses significant challenges in balancing the interests of the parties.
Our industry expertise combined with knowledge of the regulatory framework is crucial to delivering proactive legal advice whether in litigation, EU compliance or developing Internet strategies. Drawing on other core areas of strength within the firm, we are expertly placed to advise on other general regulatory matters such as data protection, advertising and e-commerce and other rules and regulations such as those relating to listed companies.
