Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘A&O Shearman is familiar with the procedures of the World Health Organization for approving drugs for Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Only a handful of law firms understand this space because there is very little profit to be made if any selling or donating products to LMICs. A&O Shearman has invested resources to understand this space, which is why they are unique.’
‘Strong commercial focus, pragmatic while technically rigorous.’
