Provided legal support for transactions among pharmaceutical and med-tech firms

The lawyers of the practice provided legal support in relation to transactions aimed at expanding the product portfolio of clients that were large Russian pharmaceutical and med-tech companies when they were acquiring rights to products in the Russian Federation. The subject matter of the transactions with regard to which legal support was provided included dietary supplements, medicines and medical devices. The rights were acquired through assets (including technical and registration documentation pertaining to production) and membership interests being bought out in companies that possessed the necessary assets in Russia. Within the scope of the projects, the lawyers of the practice conducted due diligence of the assets, drafted contracts, including framework/master agreements pertaining to the transactions, participated in negotiations and improved transaction documents. They also prepared certain short-form legal memos with regard to matters concerning how the transactions were entered into on particular terms and also relating to specific aspects of how the concluded contracts were to be performed (including subject to specific regulatory matters, from the re-registration of products to the prices for such products, among other things).
