Whether you are in pharmaceuticals, veterinary drugs, medical devices, diagnostics, biotechnology, life sciences research, plant biology, crop science, agriculture, or “border” products such as nutraceuticals, food supplements and food products—Dentons knows your business.

Every day, we help life sciences clients decide how best to face the challenges in developing and commercializing products, delivering services, and capitalizing on scientific breakthroughs and business opportunities around the globe. In addition to our lawyers’ seamless collaboration worldwide, we work closely with research institutes, leaders in scientific opinion, pharma-economic and medical experts and management advisers to provide the well-rounded, commercially focused service you need. 

When you need capital, we are there. Our lawyers have participated in numerous public offerings, venture capital investments, mergers & acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, technology transfer transactions, university spin-offs and initial financing transactions.

Need to capitalize on your innovations? We have structured complex licensing, distribution, co-promotion, development and manufacturing agreements. From research and development through manufacturing, protection of intellectual property and patients’ consent, marketing and sales, we provide the knowledge and support you need to keep projects moving, while mitigating risks to help you steer clear of costly delays and complications.

When compliance issues, investigations, litigation, or problems with anti-gift, anti-corruption and transparency regulations threaten to take you away from the business of improving health, our unparalleled preparation and in-depth knowledge of the law, regulations and your business takes the weight off your shoulders.
