Healthcare

Our healthcare law practice group advises public institutions, healthcare providers and companies in the life sciences sector on all aspects of healthcare law. We have a long-standing track record with respect to the establishment of clinics and other medical institutions and provide hospital operators with ongoing advice on regulatory issues. We also work a lot at the interface of corporate and healthcare law (acquisition of clinics, group structures for healthcare providers, etc) and have extensive experience with hospital financing issues.

Another focus of our practice is advice relating to products in the life sciences sector (drugs, devices, tissue products, food, tobacco, etc). We regularly work for pharmaceutical and medical device companies and act on a regular basis as Austrian counsel for various renowned life sciences firms across Europe. We also have longstanding experience in the food area (food information, novel foods, supplements, health claims, etc) and regularly represent our clients before regulatory authorities and courts.

Our well-established team of healthcare and public procurement law experts also advises regarding the participation in healthcare related procurement tenders.
