Christian Lindenthal, LL.M.

As a partner in our Munich team, I advise clients in the life sciences and healthcare sectors on matters at the intersection of IP, unfair competition, and regulatory law. I am a member of our Intellectual Property Practice Group as well as our Life Sciences and Healthcare Sector Group.

Having an IP background, I specialise in advising clients from heavily regulated industries, most notably from the life sciences and healthcare sectors. My clients range from global players to innovative start-ups.

I have extensive experience in both contentious and non-contentious matters at the European and national levels covering the entire lifecycle of products and services within these sectors. My expertise includes market access, pricing and reimbursement, supply chain and distribution, labelling and advertising of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, as well as the provision of healthcare services. Additionally, I am focusing on digital and AI applications and telemedicine services, offering expert regulatory guidance to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by life sciences organisations in these domains.

I represent clients in substantial and complex litigation involving competitors and authorities. I am providing creative solutions in contractual matters and assisting foreign companies in entering the EU market.
