I represent life sciences and health care clients conducting global clinical trials and research collaborations. For almost 20 years, I have advised clients on the contractual, regulatory, and ethical issues associated with clinical research. My services include negotiation of clinical trial agreements, review of informed consents, advice regarding novel patient recruitment strategies and assistance with interactions with regulatory agencies, including the FDA. I also advise clients on emerging regulatory issues affecting clinical research, including the utilization of social media in patient and physician recruitment, the development of virtual clinical trial and telemedicine networks, and personalized medicine strategies implementing the use of biomarkers and companion diagnostics.I also represent clients in the structuring of complex outsourcing arrangements between life sciences companies and contract research organizations (CROs). I also provide support in a number of corporate and commercial transactions in the life sciences space, including the assessment and mitigation of regulatory risks and the negotiation of liability allocation arrangements in M&A, licensing, and other commercial transactions.I am the Life Sciences coleader for the Firm's Health Care and Life Sciences Practice Group and am currently serving as co-chair of the Boston Bar Association's Health Care Section.
