Life Sciences & Healthcare

Our Life Sciences and Healthcare team in Budapest advises leading pharmaceutical companies and global medical device manufacturers, regularly handling strategic, complex, and often multi-jurisdictional matters. We support both day-to-day operations, including many clients we have advised continuously for more than a decade, and high-stakes projects, spanning regulatory and compliance (e.g. advertising and promotion of medicines and medical devices, public procurement, pricing and reimbursement), complex commercial and clinical-trial agreements, IP protection, product liability, employment, and M&A. We are also at the forefront of emerging issues such as AI in healthcare and digital health. 

We also provide full‑scope support in complex compliance investigations across multiple legal domains, including public procurement and pharmaceutical regulatory matters. Our services are delivered through an integrated team that includes in‑house forensic, evidence, and IT specialists, which enables us to manage the entire investigative process end‑to‑end from fact‑finding and forensic coordination to the design, recommendation, and implementation of a tailored remedial action plan. 

Our close-knit global team boasts over 550 CMS Life Sciences & Healthcare experts. We work with and have established long-term relationships with the top 100 life sciences & healthcare companies in the areas of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology, agriculture and food, including the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, the top ten global medical device companies, the largest biotechnology company, and start-ups.
