Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology & Healthcare

The pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare sectors operate at the intersection of scientific innovation, complex regulation, clinical research, intellectual property, financing and commercialization. In Israel, where a dynamic and highly advanced life sciences industry continues to thrive, organizations require legal counsel that combines legal expertise, commercial understanding, and in-depth knowledge of the technological and regulatory environment in which they operate.

We provide comprehensive legal counsel and representation to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies, start-ups, medical centers, hospitals, non-profit organizations, and entities operating in the healthcare, welfare and social services sectors. We support our clients throughout every stage of their operations – from product development, research and clinical trials, through regulatory approvals and ongoing engagement with regulatory authorities, to commercial agreements, complex transactions, capital raising, and domestic and international business activities.

In the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industries, a single commercial or regulatory decision may give rise to a wide range of legal issues from healthcare regulation, clinical research and intellectual property to commercial agreements, interactions with government authorities, financing, capital markets, employment law and litigation. Addressing these challenges requires broad, practical and commercially focused legal counsel that integrates multidisciplinary expertise while considering the business and regulatory environment in which our clients operate.

We also advise clients on the commercial and financial aspects of the industry, including representation of public and private companies, regulatory compliance, financial regulation, corporate governance, regulatory reporting, engagements with institutional and public entities, and representation before government authorities and regulators. In addition, we provide ongoing legal counsel to organizations operating in the healthcare and welfare sectors, including healthcare corporations, entrepreneurs and companies active in digital health, mental health and social services.
