SJ Berwin's Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences group is recognised as one of the leading practices of its kind, acting for a broad range of clients in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
We earned this recognition acting in many of the landmark legal and regulatory cases in the pharmaceutical sector, not only in domestic courts but also before the European Court of Justice, the European Commission and local regulatory and competition authorities.
The Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences group is a full service team comprising of nine partners, ten associates and one consultant.
Each of our key disciplines is represented in the London based group.
These key areas include:
- regulatory
- competition and antitrust
- patent and other intellectual property litigation and counseling
- licensing and commercial exploitation; and
- corporate advice (including fund formation, capital raising, corporate structures, joint ventures, tax, mergers and acquisitions, takeovers and de-mergers)
Our lawyers have extensive industry knowledge and experience and speak frequently at the leading industry events and conferences, both in the UK and internationally.
This expertise is recognised by legal and industry-specific directories who, year on year, rank our lawyers as leaders in their respective fields.
A number of our lawyers have worked in the European Commission’s Competition Directorate General, Legal Service and Internal Market Directorate General. We also have close links with the principal regulatory and governmental bodies.
