Differentiators
Technology Savvy
Our attorneys fully grasp the importance of grid, cloud, and other e-infrastructure integration within the health and life sciences industries, including its underlying technology components and associated emerging issues. With this insight, we routinely advise health and life science companies on raising capital, partnering, licensing, contracting, and general corporate matters, and we represent venture capital and private equity funds and other financing sources in their investment activities. Our attorneys also understand the increasing importance and value of this industry-generated data, including its role in reimbursement, related regulatory issues in data management, and the associated privacy, security, liability, and contractual concerns — giving us a distinct edge in advancing our clients’ success.
