Life Sciences Litigation click here to view entire PDF file. Success in the marketplace is never assured. The complexity and long-term perspective of the industry breed substantial business risk, and that risk often translates into adversarial proceedings. Morgan Lewis' litigation attorneys understand the business risks associated with the life sciences industry and know how to help companies protect their business interests.
Disputes affecting the industry take many forms and are resolved in many forums.
In some instances, the disputes arise between competitors over issues such as patent infringement, or between partners over failed joint venture projects. In other instances, companies face suits from consumers for product liability, or from dissident shareholders claiming violations of securities laws. Additionally, because the industry is highly regulated, companies may find themselves the targets of governmental investigations or enforcement actions. All of these situations can threaten a company's financial viability or undermine the public's confidence in its products or services. We do so with the intensity and creativity necessary to protect our clients' interests, and with a sensitivity to the unique character of an industry that must operate with the highest level of integrity and accountability while under public scrutiny.
