What the Team is Known For

McDermott Will & Emery has a unique offering, having positioned itself to become a go-to global law firm for businesses within the healthcare sector. The firm is the leading practice in legal issues related to healthcare in the USA and has developed a wider global platform with a similar focus with established offices in Europe and Asia, and the US team is frequently engaged together with colleagues in the firm's overseas offices, forming a cross-jurisdictional team with lawyers in the UK and Germany on a regular basis.

With the firm's strong capabilities across healthcare and life sciences, supported by privacy and IP expertise, it can offer an attractive combination for companies involved in both those areas, particularly those engaged in the development of medical devices and digital health. The firm provides regulatory advice and transactional support across the sector.

Strengths

McDermott is able to provide some advice in other jurisdictions and topics where we needed help, and the quality is there in the extended team as well.
