Dora Talvard

Working across life sciences, I assist pharma, biotech, medical devices companies and research centres with regulatory issues (clinical trials, data exclusivity, marketing, price and reimbursement, distribution, advertising and compliance), contract negotiations, as well as privacy and e-health related matters.

I became familiar with the life sciences and healthcare sector at the very beginning of my professional career as a patent litigator, being involved in major pan-European pharma cases concerning SPCs and biosimilars.

I am passionate about life sciences and healthcare, and committed to becoming a specialist of the sector so I can advise clients to the best outcomes on a broad range of topics.

I closely follow the legal and regulatory evolutions in the health sector to provide clients with the latest updates. Since I love learning and sharing, I post the most important ones on Bird & Bird's Life Sciences blog.

I am an active member of France Biotech and LESI. I am fluent in French, English and Hungarian.

I am also a co-author of 'Patent Enforcement Worldwide', edited by Christopher Heath and published by Hart Publishing (2015) and 'Patent Protection for Second Medical Uses', published by Wolters Kluwer, AIPPI Series (2016).
