Pharmaceutical & Healthcare

According to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), the pharmaceutical sector adds £13.8 billion to the British economy each year, on average.

For the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, the reality of a post-Brexit world is a daunting one. Despite months of negotiations, the full extent of the repercussions are still yet to be seen and COVID-19’s impact on the economy and healthcare system has further intensified the challenges ahead. Key implications include:

The impact on R&D and funding
Regulatory issues
Disruption to medical supply chains
The rights, movement and status of workers
The creation and application of new rules

For many years we have built up specialist sector knowledge, with many of our lawyers having worked with pharmaceutical and healthcare clients as their trusted advisers.

We provide transactional, commercial and dispute resolution services to a range of clients, from some of the largest multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare groups through to investors, start-ups and emerging ventures.

This gives us an unparalleled perspective of the sector and the insight to enable us to give legal and strategic advice on the most innovative and transformational matters relevant to our clients.

Some of our sector work highlights include:

Advising on the distribution services structure for outsourced transportation and warehousing across Europe for an international pharmaceutical company.
