Thompson Hine LLP’s Life Sciences group is focused on helping FDA-regulated industries translate their scientific advances to commercial success. A cascade of social, political, scientific, legal and regulatory factors combines to make the life sciences one of the most complex and dynamic business pursuits. Fostering the development of products that improve the condition of living beings also makes the life sciences one of the most rewarding endeavors. We draw on extensive industry-specific knowledge and technical background to help life sciences clients create innovative business plans. We are particularly experienced with the biotech, medical device and pharmaceutical industries and their products. Whether you are a new, privately held startup or an established public company, our practical and legal experiences can help you overcome the complex corporate, information technology, intellectual property, litigation and regulatory issues that challenge your business daily. Our practice draws upon experienced professionals with science and industry backgrounds to develop practical, efficient solutions to the challenges faced in the life sciences. Lawyers in our Life Sciences group are experienced with the impact on business brought by the interplay of state and federal laws, regulations and policies that act upon the life sciences. That’s why we do more than just identify risks in business practices. We work with clients to understand their business intimately and bring our experience to assist them in implementing innovative solutions which allow them to do what they do best – deliver products and services that improve the health and well-being of living beings.
