This section ranks firms and individuals with in-depth knowledge of Life Sciences and is heavily based on regulatory work. Life Sciences primarily refers to work in the pharmaceutical sector, and work relating to biotechnology can also be incorporated here. Work includes advising companies on new regulations and directives, clinical trials and approval work, and the procurement of Life Sciences products. Transactional and contentious work can also be considered. As in South Africa we already cover Intellectual Property in a separate table, the Life Sciences submission should focus less on mandates such as IP litigation and patent work. Healthcare work can be presented.
