Life Sciences
We are proud to enjoy a strong reputation amongst industry players and regulatory authorities in the health industry, as a result of the high degree of specialization we have accumulated over the years.
We advise both public and private agents in their activities and hold a strong presence in the pharmaceutical industry. We represent, on a regular and continuous basis, a large number of the most prominent pharma companies operating in Portugal.
Assistance provided to these companies covers all legal and regulatory matters, notably:
- negotiations with the competent health authorities in the context of reimbursement medicines
- marketing authorisations and renewals
- prices
- promotional and advertising activities
- manufacture
- wholesale distribution
- competition
- clinical trials
- public procurement and contract negotiations with public and private agents.
In addition, the firm has been involved, in close cooperation with firms from other jurisdictions, in most of the major M&A transactions carried out in the pharmaceutical sector in recent years.
Members of the Health practice team have developed a very significant expertise and are continuously encouraged to expand their knowledge. They also actively participate, as speakers, in seminars and conferences on various topics related to the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the health sector.
