"What distinguishes the firm in this space is combining subject matter expertise in both life sciences with legal expertise in M&A and deal-making. The experience of the partners is so vast that it is hard to come up with a set of facts in which they do not have a recommended strategy and structure, all born out of negotiations and an impressive back catalogue of deals."
