Life sciences

The life sciences industry is rapidly changing and highly regulated. We act for clients across the health sector, including NHS Commissioners, NHS and independent health providers and established healthtech companies and start-ups, meaning we’re uniquely placed to manage these challenges and guide clients through regulatory and contractual processes.   

Medical devices, appliances and apps are usually highly technical, meaning they are of high value. This means they need to go through extremely rigorous regulatory processes and testing before they can secure approval for use in the market.   

At Browne Jacobson, we have specialised teams that advise on different areas of the life sciences sector. Our expertise covers intellectual property (contentious and non-contentious), regulatory, commercial, procurement, data protection, dispute resolution and value add services. 

Much of our advice is proactive, guiding clients on the development of new products and services, entry to the UK market, business restructuring or in respect of ongoing regulatory compliance. We’re regularly asked to advise on MHRA regulation, CQC registration, trademark registration, data processing requirements and NHS Provider licensing. 

Our expertise also extends to advising clients on the challenges of dealing with digital disruption and digital transformation, including advising on the issues at the forefront of society in the context of those challenges.
