Life Sciences
With extensive and practical experience within Life Sciences our lawyers have a strong understanding of the commercial and legal challenges that are faced by market players.
 
Our experience is that there is a great variation in the type of advice Life Science players require. This covers everything from a start-up company’s need to secure rights and obtain capital to more established companies requiring continual advice about matters both large and small. This may be issues concerning the entering into of agreements, compliance with regulatory requirements, participation in tender processes, assistance in the handling of major legal processes or transactions.

Our Life Sciences group provides assistance for all such matters. Through many years of assistance to pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical wholesalers, producers of medical devices, hospitals and health interest organisations, among others, we have acquired an excellent overview of the special regulatory matters and general framework conditions that apply for the different players in this area.
 
Combined with Thommessen’s clients having access to our specialists within other fields of law, this entails that we can offer comprehensive and goal-oriented assistance.

The core expertise of the Life Sciences group:
• Administration and enforcement of rights.
• Safeguarding of business secrets
• Research and development agreements
• Licensing agreements
• Regulatory requirements
