Reed Smith’s interdisciplinary life sciences team around the world helps clients to navigate the ever-changing regulatory environment of the life sciences industry and helps to drive progress for companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, diagnostic and animal health sectors.

The firm’s Athens-based team has a reputation for successfully representing life sciences entities in key transactions, complex regulatory and policy matters, and high-profile litigation. Reed Smith’s clients in Greece include pharmaceutical companies and device manufacturers which the firm represents in regulatory compliance matters, product liability litigation cases, government investigations, public tendering procedures and litigation, data privacy and security matters as well as corporate transactions and transformations.

In another recent life sciences development, Reed Smith announced in April that Milan Thakker was joining the firm in London as a life sciences transactional partner, after having spent over seven years in the Group Legal Transactions team at the Swiss headquarters of Novartis, where he managed some of the pharma giant’s most notable strategic transactions.
