Practice Areas
In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry market, namely the OTCs, food supplements and medical devices, has gone through a complete change of approach, mainly due to the market opening and growth (especially the one integrated in the major retailers). Derived from this change, new launches became linked with heavy investments in communication, far more dynamic and using several of the same techniques used for mass market products.
In addition, new challenges arose from the fact that the existing transparency disclosure system in place for medicines was transcribed for the medical devices in early 2017, with all the profound changes that came along with it for such market, together with the complete change in the rules for the industry to carry out education and scientific events on NHS facilities.
Regarding medicines, our Life Sciences team advises on several areas of the law, that go beyond the technical aspects, working closely together and in partnership with the client's regulatory departments, in relation, among others, to:
