Life Sciences & Healthcare

Life Sciences & Healthcare is one of the world's fast-growing markets and Biotechnology is a powerful driver in this dynamic field, promoting the development of innovative products in both the pharmaceutical and food industries. In turn, legislators are responding with new laws and guidelines with which to regulate the sector.

In this environment, Taylor Wessing's Life Sciences & Healthcare Group has built on its market-leading reputation in IP services for pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech clients to create an integrated team of specialists able to meet the diverse needs of the full range of organisations working in this sector.

We are acknowledged as "experts" and "highly rated" in the latest editions of independent directories such as Chambers, PLC Global Counsel and Legal 500. Our continually growing international client base also reflects the high repute in which we are held. It ranges from multinationals to start-ups, and includes leading national and international pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers of medical devices, consumer goods and chemicals, and providers of healthcare services.

A traditional area of strength within our firm, our multidisciplinary team includes those with additional qualifications and industry experience in science and experts from all our main offices; as a fully pan-European practice, we are represented in all of Europe's most important centres for life sciences. Our close and direct contact to the European Commission is particularly valuable in keeping us abreast of developments in EU law.
