Pharmaceuticals & Biologics
Overview
By bringing innovative products to market, pharmaceutical companies help people live longer, higher-quality lives — and our attorneys and other professionals are dedicated to facilitating that progress. Our professionals include former in-house counsel and senior executives for some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, as well as an interdisciplinary team of experienced attorneys and professionals who provide regulatory, transactional, litigation, intellectual property and government affairs services tailored to the pharmaceutical industry. We help clients tackle business and financing pressures, regulatory scrutiny and litigation threats on a national and international scale. We have steered global pharma companies through multibillion-dollar transactions and helped international drug manufacturers accelerate drug development through creative joint ventures. Our IP attorneys work to patent your inventions in countries around the globe; shield your brands through trademark policing and anti-counterfeiting strategies; and negotiate commercial, licensing and other strategic agreements — freeing you to focus on product development and innovation. We serve as outside general counsel for regulatory compliance matters and support on all interactions with the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory parties, including inspections, investigations and enforcement. And when disputes occur, our trial lawyers are there to handle any issue. Whether enforcing your rights or defending against alleged wrongdoing, including in product liability litigation, our team of skilled trial attorneys is ready to represent you in high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation every day.
