Life Sciences & Healthcare

Mis­sion State­ment

The life sciences and healthcare industry faces numerous commercial and legal challenges. Demographic developments, globalization and intense competition constantly change the requirements for enterprises. The industry is characterized by intense competition and regular innovation. This is juxtaposed with a high concentration of regulations and close links to the most different fields of law. The legal requirements for enterprises are, however, laid down in many different laws, and are subject to numerous reforms. Askalane attorneys are experts in the different fields of law which are relevant to the industry and closely cooperate under one roof. Thanks to this interdisciplinary network Askalane offers its clients support in all relevant matters as a one-stop shop. We support clients above all in the areas of pharmaceuticals law, pharmacy law, food law, dietary supplements law, cosmetics law, and medical devices law in complex transactions, public procurement procedures, regulatory issues, data protection, and labor and employment law issues, and in enforcing or defending industrial property rights. In addition, we provide support in compliance matters.
