Industry
In this sector the commercial question and the patient safety question are never fully separable, and advice that treats them separately is not useful.
Sector contacts
We advise hospital and provider groups, medical device manufacturers, and diagnostics and life sciences businesses on transactions, intellectual property, investigations, and the employment questions that arise where clinical judgment and management authority meet.
Transactions in the sector regularly turn on questions that do not appear in the financial model — whether clinical leadership will remain, whether a data supply arrangement permits what the acquirer intends to do, and whether an integration plan is compatible with continuity of care.
What clients are contending with
The value of a diagnostics or device business often sits in data it holds under supply terms that were never written for a change of control.
A conduct investigation in a provider organization answers to a regulator and to a clinical community. Scope and reporting have to work for both.
Where patents run out or never covered the useful part, disputes move to know-how and departing teams.
Practice Areas
Patent and trade secret disputes, licensing, and the agreements governing data and models.
Acquisitions, carve-outs, joint ventures, and the governance that has to survive them.
Internal and government investigations, enforcement defense, and the controls that prevent the next one.
Senior transitions, restrictive covenants, workplace investigations, and the employment side of transactions.
Representative Matters
Speak to the firm
Describe the matter in general terms and name the parties involved. We run a conflicts check, usually within two business days, and a partner in the relevant practice will call you. The first conversation is not charged.
