Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals

EXPERTISE

Consolidated Knowledge

Disputes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries often feature issues of patent, licensing and distribution law. Regulatory frameworks, often on a cross-border level, also impact the contractual relationships between parties. The stakes may be even higher in cases of product liability, with the potential for third party claims, making it paramount to think beyond just the dispute at hand when determining the overall strategy for a case.
