Life Sciences

The Life Sciences Practice is composed of 30 specialists experienced in pharmaceutical and biotechnology law, food law, anti-monopoly law, healthcare and constitutional law.

We advise Polish and foreign entities in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, food and chemical sectors, and companies in the alcohol and tobacco industries.

We specialise in strategic advice in the areas of legislation, reimbursement, distribution, telemedicine solutions and compliance.

Our clients are local government authorities, which we advise on the restructuring of the healthcare system.

We cooperate with sector organisations in consultation over legislative bills, preparing, e.g. opinions on whether bills comply with the Constitution and international law; we also participate in drawing up such regulations.

Our awareness of market practice enables us to render advice that gives a high level of legal safety and that is also effective in business terms. Where legal risks are identified, we try to propose solutions that will not only mitigate these risks but also achieve goals as near as possible to the client’s original intentions.

We run a legal blog where we regularly comment on legal changes affecting our clients' activity.
