Pharma & Healthcare
From the digitization of hospitals, the impact of the pandemic on the healthcare sector to a changing age structure of the population, the Pharma & Healthcare sector is facing transformations and challenges. These dynamics are accompanied by constantly changing regulatory requirements. We advise companies in the Pharma & Healthcare sector on industry-specific matters of antitrust law, public procurement law and international trade law, such as purchasing cooperatives in the hospital sector, procurement of industry-specific software or export control of medical devices.
