HEALTHCARE & LIFE SCIENCES

The health and life sciences sector is facing a period of uncertainty. Legislative and regulatory changes have created real commercial pressure which means that those businesses operating in the sector need lawyers who understand conflicting priorities amid constant public scrutiny.

Our specialist team is highly regarded in the sector and has an excellent track record in advising a diverse range of clients from small independent care home operators through to pharmaceutical companies such as Clinigen Group and global companies such as Walgreen Boots Alliance.

We pride ourselves on keeping abreast of developments in the sector and help our clients navigate the regulatory maze by providing practical, commercially astute advice when they need it most.
