Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals

We advise manufacturers, hospitals, diagnostic chains, device companies and digital health businesses. Manufacturing, loan licence and marketing arrangements under the drug legislation and the rules, including contract manufacturing and third party manufacture structures. Import and registration of drugs and devices. Clinical trial and research documentation. Price control and trade margin questions. Hospital and clinical establishment licensing, biomedical waste, radiation and fire approvals. Medical negligence defence and consumer proceedings. Advertising and the restrictions specific to therapeutic claims. Data protection in a clinical context, where consent architecture is materially harder than in commerce. Transactional work in the sector, including slump sale of manufacturing units, where the licence transfer rather than the asset transfer is what determines the timetable and is routinely underestimated in the diligence.
