Biotechnology
Our team regularly advises clients developing biotech products in areas including biotechnology derived proteins (such as insulin), immunologicals (such as vaccines and allergens), blood or plasma derived products, and engineered tissues.
Our team benefits from having several members of the group who have completed degrees in subjects including molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics. This knowledge enables us to quickly grasp technical concepts and provide nuanced and tailored advice.
We closely follow new developments and emerging trends in the biotech market. For example, we have been following the emerging regulatory pathways for biosimilars and advising clients on appropriate strategies.
We have worked with many well-known companies on their biological products, including Pfizer, Novartis, Regeneron, Amgen and Roche.
