Life Sciences

About

Provided by Choate Hall & Stewart LLP

Our interdisciplinary Life Sciences practice is known for its combination of industry knowledge, and legal and technical expertise. Our practitioners work collaboratively across technology and practice areas, with a team of patent, corporate and litigation lawyers, many with PhDs and other advanced degrees from leading institutions of science, and who are experts in major scientific fields. This approach allows us to provide counsel that is both strategic and practical, always focused on aligning legal and technical issues with our clients’ business goals. 

Our representation often includes work throughout a client’s entire life cycle from startup to maturity, including transformation (e.g. IPO, M&A). In other cases, clients seek us out at key inflection points – their first presentation to professional investors or potential partners, their transition from research focus to developing products or initiating clinical trials, or initiating their first commercial launch. At every phase, we provide strategic counsel, helping protect valuable assets, navigate competitive commercial and IP landscapes, assert or address disputes in court or at the PTO, negotiate significant transactions, assess regulatory and healthcare compliance, and defend against government investigations.

Clients who partner with us get the advantage of extensive partner-led experience, true teamwork and an entrepreneurial culture that help build businesses and transform great science into great business.
