Medtech & Life Sciences

Overview

Our responsive, multi-disciplinary team can provide a full legal service for MedTech and life sciences businesses. We have assisted clients from early formation as start-ups and spin-offs in their journey to acquisition or floatation.

Working closely with our Start-ups team (link), we advise from formation, structure and shareholders’ agreements; through to operational matters such as employment, fundraising, and IP protection and commercialisation. We handle mergers, acquisitions, and public share offerings, and can support MedTech and life sciences businesses in a wide range of transactional work as well as their routine business needs.

We offer advice in relation to perimeter rules and regulatory issues, product development, distribution and marketing, innovative technologies, funding, insurtech, regtech, payment platforms, AI, machine learning and automation and infrastructure, cloud, procurement and cyber security.
