Legal advice in the healthcare and life sciences sectors requires more than expertise in individual areas of law. Healthcare delivery, regulatory requirements, commercial interests and technological developments are increasingly interconnected. Effective legal solutions therefore require both a sound understanding of the regulatory framework and an appreciation of how healthcare and life sciences organisations operate in practice.
Our advice combines many years of specialised legal practice in healthcare law with extensive experience gained within internationally operating pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies.
Specialised Healthcare Legal Expertise
The firm's roots lie in the specialised legal advice of healthcare providers operating within the German healthcare system. Physicians, medical practices and medical care centres (MVZ), hospitals, pharmacies and other healthcare providers operate within a particularly complex framework of healthcare regulation, social security law, professional rules, civil law and public law.
This healthcare law expertise remains an essential foundation of our practice. It is complemented by specialist qualifications in medical and pharmaceutical law and extensive experience in regulatory and commercial matters within the healthcare sector.
Life Sciences Industry Experience
Both lawyers also have extensive experience in legal roles within internationally operating pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies.
This experience includes advising on pharmaceutical and medical device regulation, healthcare compliance, complex commercial and cooperation agreements, international business activities and strategic projects within regulated healthcare markets.
We are therefore familiar not only with the legal and regulatory framework, but also with internal decision-making processes and cross-functional cooperation between Legal, Commercial Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs, Compliance, Quality, IT and other business functions.
Healthcare, Business and Technology
The legal requirements of the healthcare sector continue to evolve. Digital transformation, data-driven business models and increasingly complex regulatory requirements mean that traditional healthcare and life sciences matters frequently intersect with technology, data protection and IT law.
Our experience enables us to identify these interfaces at an early stage and to consider the legal, regulatory, technological and commercial aspects of a project together.
Our Approach
We do not view legal advice as the isolated assessment of individual legal questions. Our aim is to understand our clients' objectives, business models and operating environment and to develop solutions that are legally robust and practically workable.
Our advice combines the perspective of specialised external legal counsel with the practical experience gained from many years of working within regulated healthcare and life sciences companies.
