Health Law

Health law is a cross-sectoral field that cuts across several legal disciplines. The main component of our practice involves the legal advisory and support for hospitals and other medical service providers in the area of contracts and litigation. We also advise our clients in negotiating and contracting with health insurance companies. In advising our client, we cooperate with our IT law and personal data protection experts, since the rapid development of technologies in medicine has affected not just civil law but also IT and compliance areas.

We also provide comprehensive advisory services to pharmaceutical distributors and pharmacy chain operators. In expanding their product and retail chain portfolios, we frequently work side-by-side with our colleagues who specialise in M&A transactions. 

One area that is specific to health law advisory is the legal support related to clinical trials. We help our clients in drafting and revising contractual documents used in clinical trials and in reviewing and ensuring compliance of their clinical evaluation procedures with applicable law. We also render support in negotiations between healthcare providers who participate in clinical trials and the medical research companies or companies that organise the trials. Our support also entails a personal assistance in negotiating the terms and resolution of any legal matters such as may arise in the course of cooperation between all parties involved in clinical trials. To this end, we always help our clients prevent and mitigate any potential legal risks and ensure that the whole process runs smoothly.

We also focus on health law in our lectures and publications. Our success rate both at the negotiation table and at court is a testament to our expertise and skill in this practice area, as are our numerous awards in the Law Firm of the Year rankings.
