Corporate and Securities

Biotech companies of all sizes conduct business via complex networks of scientists, funding sources, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, consultants and others. Each of these relationships requires a contract, resulting in many biotech companies investing significant amounts of technical, management and legal talent in the details of contracting.

To help these companies, Womble Carlyle has developed a Biotech Commercial Contract Service. Based on experience with dozens of biotech companies and literally hundreds of commercial contracts, we have compiled a database of industry-specific contract elements. Starting with a thorough understanding of your business, we can quickly and cost-efficiently tailor these elements into a contract that meets your specific business and technical requirements, freeing you to concentrate on your core management and scientific skills. Following are some of the areas in which we can prepare contracts:

• Technology evaluation
• Research and development
• Licensing and technology transfer
• Supply, manufacturing, distribution and materials transfer
• Nondisclosure
• Consulting services
• Media services
• Testing and validation services
• Clinical trials
• Market research
• Technology acquisitions
