Drawing on 45 years of related experience, Wilson Elser understands the dynamic landscape that defines life sciences and offers thoughtful, practical advice to pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology companies around the world. 

We pride ourselves on extricating our clients from litigation early and efficiently, though are unafraid to vigorously defend them in court when the situation demands. Whether retained for standalone cases or extensive mass tort actions, we bring a level of creativity, rigor and discipline as lead, national or coordinating counsel that allows us to maintain an enviable record of success and has earned us the loyalty of our many Life Sciences clients. 

Our practice attorneys take a fully integrated approach, frequently forming multidisciplinary teams composed of colleagues who represent finely tuned combinations of corporate governance; financing and M&A transactions; government and regulatory matters and investigations, collaborations and licensing; and intellectual property law. As dictated by the scope and size of a matter, team members also may include attorneys from multiple Wilson Elser offices who are intimately familiar with the regulatory landscape involving the life sciences industry.   

Acknowledging that a swift and well-coordinated response in a crisis can be essential, we offer emergency response capabilities. Our attorneys can assemble “go-teams” of appropriate legal and non-legal personnel that can be engaged − often on-site − within the first critical hours of a crisis.
