Life sciences
De life science industrie is een internationale en complexe omgeving. Ons life science team werkt met en voor vele spelers op het gebied van life sciences, biotech en medtec. Wij werken voor een gevarieerde mix van cliënten, van investeerders tot start-ups, van lokale ondernemingen tot multinationals en voor diverse overheids- en semi-overheidsinstellingen, waaronder academische ziekenhuizen. Naast het medische vakgebied werken wij voor diverse cliënten in de 'witte' (industriële) en de 'groene' (agrarische) biotech. Als veelzijdig team beschikken wij over financieringsspecialisten om te adviseren op het gebied van private equity en financiering van durfkapitaal en specialisten op het gebied van intellectueel eigendom met ruime ervaring in het opstellen van (internationale) samenwerkings- en licentieovereenkomsten, het optreden tegen inbreuken en het oplossen van geschillen in complexe R&D omgevingen.
Wij hebben ruime ervaring in het bijstaan van onze cliënten in zowel procedurele als niet- procedurele zaken. Wij begrijpen risico's en kunnen geschillen oplossen gedurende de levenscyclus van life science producten. Hierdoor zijn wij in staat om onze cliënten te helpen met vraagstukken op het gebied van onderzoek en ontwikkeling, naleving en aansprakelijkheidsclaims tegen gevestigde producten.
