DLA Piper's Pharmaceutical and Bioscience Group

The pharmaceutical and bioscience industries are highly regulated and can present many legal hurdles. DLA Piper has set out to construct a leading team of industry experts. The results (a combination of our international merger and targeted recruitment) has produced one of the finest pharmaceutical and biosciences teams in the world. Our team understands the drivers which affect pharma and biotech lifecycles and marketing strategies, the research and development which goes into the discovery of novel products and their formulation, their subsequent licensing, distribution and other exploitation, as well as the patent enforcement strategies which complement them. We also understand the competitive/dynamics which drive the generic pharmaceuticals industry.

New joiners

We have recently been joined by two new partners in our Copenhagen office. Anders Valentin and Ole Damsbo are leading Danish patent lawyers. Both Anders and Ole have significant experience and expertise in handling patent litigation, licensing and regulatory matters for pharmaceutical and bioscience clients. Most recently Anders and Ole have been involved in the ongoing battles over generic Omperazol and Atorva-statin. Their contact details are
