The life sciences industry is highly regulated and subject to constant change. We understand your core business and the environment in which you operate. We have the legal expertise to enable you to achieve business success in compliance with all legal requirements – both in Germany and internationally. We often act as an external legal department in this area.

We advise you on all contractual matters with a focus on life sciences & pharmaceutical law – be it manufacturing and supply contracts with contract manufacturers (CMOs) for raw materials, bulk or finished products; license agreements, distribution, co-distribution or co-promotion agreements, wholesale agreements, warehousing and logistics agreements, the drafting of general terms and conditions of sale and purchase, agreements with healthcare professionals, dispute resolution agreements, quality assurance agreements, delineation of responsibility agreements, pharmacovigilance agreements, contracts for clinical trials, observational studies and the commissioning of contract research organizations (CROs), etc.

Complex contracts are our strength, both in the life sciences sector and beyond.

We provide comprehensive advice on all issues relating to product demarcation, approval, manufacture, distribution and marketing of medicinal products and medical devices.

Our consulting services cover all aspects of the marketing and advertising of pharmaceuticals, medical products, food supplements, cosmetics and other products. We check your advertising materials and your entire corporate communications for their legal admissibility. In the event of disputes with competitors or competition associations, we will also represent you in court.

You will hardly experience a working day on which you are not confronted with questions of commercial law, regardless of whether these are your own terms and conditions of delivery or purchase, ongoing agreements with customers or project-specific contracts. With our many years of experience, we can help you with the rapid provision of standard contracts as well as with the drafting of complex special agreements. We can also check the rules and regulations of your business partners and assist you in contract negotiations.

Trademark law serves to ensure the protection and exclusivity of your trademarks and logos and to enforce legal claims against trademark infringements. We are at your side in an advisory and creative capacity by handling your trademark registrations from A to Z (market research, registration procedures, follow-up care), resolving any trademark conflicts and, if necessary, defending your valuable trademarks in court.
