contracts & collaborations

Every day, we develop, draft, review, negotiate and enforce contracts for our life sciences clients – from the commonplace to the innovative, from simple confidentiality agreements to complex, large-volume, strategic collaborations where no precedent exists.

Words are a lense to focus one's mind.

Main Text

As an integrated, multi-disciplinary team, we understand the legal and regulatory landscape - but we also know how to balance strict compliance requirements with anticipated revenues and associated risks. Our expertise extends to intellectual property considerations, ensuring that licensing, R&D partnerships, technology transfers, and commercialization strategies protect innovation while maximizing value. This includes advising on university spin-outs and other structures that help bring cutting-edge research to market.


We have particular experience advising maturing biotech companies on licensing deals – in this area, our partners have been involved in some of the largest German biotech transactions to date. In addition, we regularly represent public and private pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, research institutions, CROs, CMOs, and other market players in structuring complex commercial agreements that effectively address intellectual property rights, commercialization strategies, and risk allocation.

​

  • license agreements

  • research and development agreements

  • process development and tech transfer agreements

  • contract manufacturing and supply agreements

  • outsourcing and service agreements

  • university collaborations and spin-outs
