Our Life Science Services

Commercial Agreements

Well-structured agreements are fundamental to every life science business. From IP licensing and R&D collaborations to manufacturing and distribution, we ensure that your contracts are tailored, robust, and aligned with your commercial goals. We also support you throughout negotiations.

Regulatory & Compliance

We guide our clients through pharmaceutical regulations and EU frameworks for medical devices under the MDR and the IVDR. Our expertise also covers Swedish rules on national medical information systems (NMI). We assist in regulatory investigations, classification disputes, and support clients in developing, updating, and implementing effective compliance programmes.

Anti-Corruption

Failure to comply with anti-corruption regulations can lead not only to criminal penalties and significant fines but also constitute breaches of contract and damage a company’s reputation. Compliance is therefore crucial, not only for the company but also for its subcontractors, agents, and other third parties.

Healthcare Compliance

We advise on the collaboration rules between the industry and public healthcare providers, as well as certain private healthcare services. We also assist with transparency requirements for pharmaceutical companies.

Marketing & Ethical Compliance

We provide preventive reviews and strategic advice regarding pharmaceutical marketing. If a pharmaceutical company’s marketing is challenged by a competitor or by the Medical Products Agency, we represent clients in proceedings before the Swedish Pharmaceutical Industry’s Information Examiner Committee (IGN) and the Information Practices Committee (NBL), as well as before the Medical Products Agency. We also assist clients who wish to challenge a competitor’s marketing.

Pricing & Reimbursement

We support companies in pricing and reimbursement matters and interactions with the Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV), ensuring compliance while safeguarding commercial outcomes.

Health Data & GDPR

Proper handling of GDPR and health data is crucial for all life science companies, while also identifying and developing business opportunities arising from access to such data.

Clinical Trials

We provide legal support for clinical trial agreements and regulatory considerations throughout the trial lifecycle.

Competition Law

We ensure that your collaborations, pricing strategies, information exchanges and agreements comply with the competition rules, while also helping you leverage them strategically. We assist with merger control and competition law analyses. We are thereby helping you identify opportunities while managing regulatory risk.
