Life Sciences & Innovation
Moore Law is able to draw upon its legal expertise across a number of commercial and IP disciplines to advise clients in the Life Sciences and Healthcare sectors.
Moore Law acts for a number of clients who are at the forefront of innovation in these sectors and we have developed and refined a contracts management service (on a retained or project to project basis) which delivers timely expertise, personal service and exceptional value.
Expertise
Moore Law is well versed in contractual and commercial issues as well as the legal and regulatory framework and regime relating to life sciences and, in particular, the conduct of Clinical Trials.
Clinical Trials are strictly regulated and governed by the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 implementing EU Directive 2001/20/EC and professional advisors need to keep abreast of regulatory developments.
The interests of a clinical research organisation, a pharmaceutical company and a university clinical trial centre do not always coincide and the expert management and exploitation of the IP generated is crucial to these collaborative arrangements.
