Biotechnology

The sphere of biotechnology encompasses a vast range of technologies, from genetically engineered organisms to fermentation systems, from diagnostic assays to stem cells. In addition, because the field of biotechnology reaches into so many areas of industry, such as pharmaceuticals and energy, an interdisciplinary approach is vital. Only with the strength in depth across this range provided by our biotechnology team can we provide the level of service demanded by our clients.

Our team works with many clients, both large and small, across the full spectrum of biotechnology. We have both the experience and satisfaction of having lead nascent biotech companies through the complexities of their early days, where cash is tight but intellectual property is vital, through to eventual commercial success. Equally we have experience of advising academic institutions and mature biotech companies on all aspects of international patent portfolio prosecution, management and enforcement.

In short, whatever you do in biotech we have the right people to provide you with the service you need, when you need it. Whether it’s diagnostics, genetic engineering, industrial biotech, ‘omics, stem cells or bioinformatics, we will provide the right attorney or bespoke team with all the skills needed to ensure you leverage the maximum value from your intellectual property.
