About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland provides full-service, global legal support for the Health and Life Sciences sector and we act for a range of organizations, including pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, healthcare logistics, nutraceuticals, medical diagnostics, digital health, consumer health and healthcare providers. We act for both development-stage companies facing regulatory issues for the first time as well as fully integrated multinationals. The sector know-how of our global Health and Life Sciences team goes way beyond the law firm experience; in our ranks, we have many lawyers with in-house experience in pharmaceutical companies, who have worked as scientists in the biotech sector, as a pharmacist, or for the regulatory bodies and who have university degrees in biochemistry, chemistry, physics and other sciences. With our global reach, we are also able to provide a range of other services to our Health and Life Sciences clients such as consulting, legal operations and technological solutions, supply of interim legal professionals and support for high/low volume risk business as usual work.
