Healthcare and life sciences

McDermott Will & Emery Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater LLP

McDermott Will & Emery Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater LLP‘s advisory offering focuses on three segments: project support (transactions and cooperations), regulation (market entry and licensing) and digitisation. The latter frequently pertains to the development of healthcare apps and databases, including interfacing data protection matters. Among the client roster are pharmaceutical, medical technology and biotechnology companies; the advice to healthcare funds on transactions and venture capital financing is a recent growth area. Practice head Stephan Rau specialises in M&A transactions as well as regulatory and compliance issues. He is supported by Monika Emilia Richter (implementation and advice on strategic cooperations, licensing, development agreements) and Jana Grieb, who advises pharmaceutical and medical technology companies on various issues, including research and development-related issues as well as market entry, advertising and sales. M&A expert Nadine Hartung joined Raue in March 2023.
