European Union offers one of the more comprehensive regulatory frameworks for healthcare.

Build to ensure that healthcare systems are safe, innovative, resilient, equitable and globally competitive, the EU health policy is strongly intertwined with EU’s overall strategic priorities of the coming decade.

We work with healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers to support their presence in the EU regulatory environment where the decisions are being made.

Pharmaceuticals

We work with pharmaceutical companies on EU policies affecting medicines development, regulation, market access and the operating environment for the sector. We support companies navigate EU pharmaceutical legislation, regulatory frameworks for clinical research, incentives for innovation and the policies shaping Europe’s competitiveness in life sciences.

Medical Devices

EU regulation directly affects how medical technologies are developed, certified and brought to patients. Our work covers the implementation and revision of MDR and IVDR, clinical evidence requirements, conformity assessment procedures and the practical challenges companies face when bringing technologies to patients.

Research & Development

Europe’s ability to attract healthcare R&D depends heavily on policy choices around funding, regulation, clinical research and innovation ecosystems. We support companies in understanding how EU priorities affect their research activities, help secure EU funding, and make the case for a stronger environment for healthcare research.

Health Data

We advise companies on the European rules determining how health data can be accessed, shared and used, focusing on policies such as the European Health Data Space, data governance, digital health regulation and the practical impact of new requirements on healthcare businesses. We help companies define their positions and engage with policymakers shaping Europe’s approach to health data.

Biotechnology

Biotech is increasingly central to Europe’s competitiveness in healthcare innovation. We work with biotech companies on EU debates affecting advanced therapies, biotechnology regulation, research incentives, and policies shaping Europe’s position in global life sciences.

Intellectual Property

Strong intellectual property rights determine whether Europe remains an attractive location for healthcare innovation. We advise healthcare companies on EU policies affecting the protection of intellectual property rights, including patents, R&D investment, technology transfer and market exclusivity.
