Legal Advice

We are a full-service law firm with a clear focus on the life sciences and we believe that no other law firm can match our breadth and depth of expertise in the sector. What sets us apart from our competitors is our unrivalled capability in providing legal advice to life sciences companies through the full life cycle of their business we call it “from cradle to liquidity”. Having a long tradition of working with companies all the way from the very earliest of stages (e.g. formation and spin-out), we understand that keeping fees manageable in those early stages and having certainty and clarity in relation to legal spend is extremely important – and we are very good at adapting to those needs.

Through the clinics we will be able to offer advice and guidance on: company formation, spinning-out from an academic or research institution, seed or later stage fundraisings (including accelerator programme investments), commercial agreements, employment matters, data protection etc.
