Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices
The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are among the most tightly regulated industries in the United States. Those who conduct research, invent, design, manufacture, distribute, or sell drugs or medical devices must comply with a diverse range of laws and regulations, including Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and a variety of consumer protection laws.
If you are in the business of designing, manufacturing or selling pharmaceuticals or medical devices, it is essential to retain an experienced attorney to help you make smart business choices, comply with relevant laws and regulations and minimize the risks of litigation. Archer attorneys help clients navigate this complex legal framework and understand their obligations relating to a whole host of issues, from clinical trials and obtaining FDA approval and complying with any licensing requirements advertising for drugs and medical devices. We assist clients in both ensuring full compliance and documenting that compliance to help insulate against future risk.
