Life Sciences - Dispute Resolution

Minimising the impact, maximising the outcome

Whether you own or manage a start-up, SME or you are a part of a large multinational organisation, disputes within the business, with commercial partners or with third parties can prove a significant distraction from the everyday running of your life sciences business.

We have experience of working with companies in a wide variety of life sciences businesses, including national and international clients in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, dentistry, non-surgical aesthetics, health supplements, and skincare sectors.  We can help clients to resolve both industry-specific issues, and more general contractual, brand enforcement and other legal disputes.
