DLA Piper is a leading global legal services organisation with over 3500 lawyers in 68 offices in 30 countries across Europe, Middle East, Asia and the USA.
Our life sciences group has lawyers worldwide who have an in-depth knowledge of the industry as well as relevant scientific backgrounds. From advising clients ranging from small start-up biotechnology companies, university spin outs, and leading non-profit research and academic institutions, to large international pharmaceutical corporations as well as those who finance such clients, we understand the issues that you face. We are as sensitive to the needs of a start-up CEO for cogent and practical advice given in a cost-efficient and timely manner as we are to those same needs of the CEO of a major multinational company.
DLA Piper is unique amongst Scottish law firms in that our global life sciences sector approach allows and encourages our life sciences team members to think and work together as a proactive unit and deliver service and advice in a way that surpasses that offered by any other law firm. As such, we can provide not only local advice but global insights and connections through our team of over 300 life science professionals worldwide.
Our clients have direct access to the advice of the lawyers in our firm in the key life sciences markets in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia and to our strong relationships within the business, finance and technology centres in those markets. Our approach, which is driven by our commitment to think globally but act locally, allows our clients to benefit from the full, in-depth knowledge of our professionals worldwide.
