We successfully and efficiently handle complex regulatory demands from a wide variety of regulators, including the FDA, the Department of Health & Human Services, Office of Inspector General (OIG), Department of Justice, DEA, FINRA and the SEC. Our team complements Goodwin’s corporate transactional and licensing capabilities through early involvement with life sciences clients and a comprehensive understanding of the ever-changing regulatory environment which clients must navigate.
