LIFE SCIENCES &
PHARMACEUTICALS
A specialist law firm distinctly focused on guiding you through the demands and challenges of operating in a highly regulated and competitive sector.
Whether you are thinking about acquiring new premises, transitioning to net zero, securing construction contracts or negotiating a new lease, we have a team of specialist lawyers who can help you at competitive hourly rates.
​
Following the boom in 2021, the Government has started to encourage investors and developers to consider the sector when investing funds. So, whilst, the popularity of life sciences continues to rise amongst investors, there is a lack of suitable and available space and infrastructure which continues to pose a challenge.
