The law firm also has notable industry focus across its global platform, and its international work involves a range of transactions, joint ventures and contentious issues within its core areas, which include pharmaceuticals, healthcare and technology. A major appeal of the law firm is its experience in acting for clients at the intersection of life sciences and tech innovation; however, the US teams in Washington, DC and New York also act for a number of major software, social media and internet companies, particularly on complex, cross-border issues related to cybersecurity and data privacy.
