Life Sciences - Medical Device and technology

McDermott’s Medical Device & Technology Group is a global interdisciplinary team focused on counseling medical device and technology companies on the broad spectrum of legal needs they face. With leading practitioners from the Firm’s corporate, health, intellectual property, regulatory and trial practices, we provide our clients with comprehensive and integrated legal solutions. Our group includes 16 former senior prosecutors from U.S. Attorney’s Offices across the country and from the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. Virtually all held senior supervisory positions. In addition, many of our lawyers came from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or have served as in-house counsel for medical device and technology companies.

We advise medical device and technology companies on strategy in all stages of their development. From individuals and small privately held businesses to Fortune 500 companies, we serve your strategic growth objectives through acquisitions, investments, securities, joint ventures, licensing, venture financing and grant funding from public and private sources. We assist clients with issues surrounding royalty monetization; due diligence; advertising; off-label promotion; premarket approval/510(k) requirements; FDA inspections of manufacturing, research and other activities (including criminal investigations and FDA enforcement actions, such as warning letter replies and investigator disqualifications); and drafting and prosecuting patent applications. Our experience also covers contract review, clinical trial agreements, antitrust counseling, health care reimbursement, fraud and abuse counseling, federal tax matters, corporate maintenance and clinical research compliance.

Drawing on a team of more than 180 intellectual property lawyers, many with advanced scientific degrees, we work with clients to protect their intellectual property. We provide a comprehensive array of services, including patent, trademark and copyright prosecution; validity; non-infringement clearance analysis and opinions; portfolio evaluation; due diligence reviews; and licensing analysis and management. We routinely engage in “bet the company” litigation on behalf of medical device and technology companies. We have handled cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, U.S. district courts, state courts, the International Trade Commission, EU Member State courts, and arbitration proceedings in the United States and internationally.
