Health Care & Pharmaceutical Law

Our competent team of experts in health care law and pharmaceutical law offers comprehensive advice for health care professionals having their own practice as well as other providers of medical and pharmaceutical services (pharmacies, medical device companies, medical engineering companies and pharmaceutical companies). Thanks to our interdisciplinary approach and the cooperation with our tax consultants and auditors, we are able to help our clients not only to safeguard their existing fields of activity, but also to open up new innovative fields of activity in the public health sector, which is changing continuously, and to meet both economic and legal requirements from one source.

Our consulting services focus on the establishment of new health care structures, e.g. the different types of cooperation between the professionals, the medical centres and other types of health care (intersectoral and integrated care). Another core area of our consulting services is the contractual arrangement of such types of cooperation, which, due to its complexity, requires special knowledge and deep understanding of the particularities of the public health sector. Thanks to our multidisciplinary focus, we can also provide qualified advice in the fields of law bordering on health care law and pharmaceutical law, which are, for example, liability law, competition law, social security law and labour law.

• advice and drafting of contracts in the context of the establishment and termination of professional cooperations both in the practice and in the hospital
• advice and drafting of contracts in the context of the purchase and sale of practices and pharmacies
