Our international digital health and medical device experts advise the companies and investors that are transforming the way therapies and patient services are delivered, covering both AI-powered healthcare and established medical technology.

We work with digital health innovators and scale-ups, established medtech and diagnostics companies, healthcare-focused investors, and pharma and biotech businesses expanding into digital health – wherever they sit on the spectrum from cutting-edge patient-facing tools to traditional, well-proven medical technology. Our clients range from AI-driven software and wearables to companion diagnostics, next-generation sequencing platforms and connected medical devices, as well as the many businesses that use digital technology to help patients or users on a daily basis, deliver care, run clinical operations or bring health technologies to market.

The legal and business issues our clients face rarely sit in a single box. A new product or investment can raise questions of regulatory approval, data protection, cybersecurity and liability all at once, and often before technology reaches the market. Advising on this well means bringing regulatory, commercial, intellectual property, tax, supply chain, employment and disputes lawyers together around the same problem, rather than answering each question in isolation.

Why choose our Digital Health and MedTech lawyers?

Our Digital Health and MedTech team supports clients across the full lifecycle of a product or service: 

  • helping them classify and design compliant offerings
  • assisting them to structure data use and partnerships
  • negotiating and advising on commercial and technology arrangements and post-market obligations
  • managing incidents, recalls and disputes if they arise.

We also advise on the strategic transactions that shape this sector, including:

  • private equity investments
  • mergers and acquisitions
  • joint ventures and licensing deals
  • regulatory and product-specific due diligence.

Because Digital Health and MedTech innovation moves across borders as easily as data does, we advise clients on cross-jurisdictional matters throughout the EU, the UK and beyond, drawing on practical insight built from supporting product launches, data governance projects and complex transactions across multiple markets.
