Bird & Bird

Counting many of the largest pharma and biotech companies worldwide as regular clients, Bird & Bird is equally comfortable handling cutting-edge work for innovators and generics alike. Marc Martens, who co-heads the firm's global life sciences and healthcare group, has specific expertise in biobanking, advanced therapies, clinical trials and data exclusivity disputes. More broadly, the practice has recently been particularly active in the digital health space, and has also assisted with a number of matters related to the Covid-19 pandemic. In team news, Nicolas Carbonnelle was promoted to partner in May 2022.
