The life sciences industry is uniquely positioned to provide life enhancing developments by fostering cutting-edge technology and creating new hope for the treatment of diseases, providing healthier foods to market, and safer over the counter products. Growth in the life sciences is due in large part to the diversity of life science companies and the ability of these companies to respond to market and regulatory demands. Given that market and regulatory demands are global in nature, such companies can only truly capitalize on their individual potential by tapping into the global marketplace. Expansion into the global marketplace requires legal counsel experienced in protecting and leveraging a company’s assets on a global basis. To ensure profitable growth, these diverse life sciences companies must anticipate, control and respond to the many challenges they face in moving their products to market. This requires legal counsel that understands the life science industry generally and, more specifically, the demands on each type of life science company and is able to provide the vast array of legal services that these differing and diverse companies require. To most effectively service clients within the life sciences, it is imperative that a firm have global experience and a global reach.

Troutman Sanders is committed to assisting clients in the global marketplace. We represent life sciences companies in the United States, Europe, Greater China, Canada, Israel and elsewhere throughout the world, and our attorneys are well-versed in cross border and international matters in the life sciences sector with extensive experience in multi-jurisdictional transactions, litigation, and IP-related counseling, providing its clients with an edge in the global marketplace in product development, product protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and risk management.
