Our Pharmaceuticals group enjoys an international reputation, and we are proud to have represented a wide range of companies on contentious and non-contentious matters touching on every stage of the product life-cycle.
Several members of the group have previously held in-house positions within the pharmaceutical industry and we actively leverage this experience across the group.

We are active across the Life Sciences field and work with a wide range of technologies from new APIs and manufacturing processes, to formulations, medical uses and diagnostic processes, biotechnological inventions, as well as cosmetics and nutraceuticals.
