Contracts & Collaborations

Every day, we develop, draft, review, negotiate and enforce contracts for our life sciences clients – from the commonplace to the innovative, from simple confidentiality agreements to complex, large-volume, strategic collaborations where no precedent exists.

Words are a lense to focus one's mind.
