About Us

Welcome to LMG Life Sciences – the definitive guide to leading law firms and lawyers specialized in the life sciences industry.

The intricacies of life science products require a diverse array of legal expertise across many disciplines. From regulatory approval or patent filing to collaborative transactions or product liabilities, legal practitioners play an important role in guiding a product through its life cycle. Furthermore, products born from biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and agritech companies demand a sophisticated scientific understanding.

Mindful of these needs, LMG Life Sciences aims to present attorneys and firms in a way that speaks to the intricacies of both the legal market and the life sciences industry. The guide’s distinctive editorial structure highlights firms that specialize in four main practice areas by editorializing ranked firms and by listing our Life Sciences Stars in a way that shows overlap between certain legal areas.

There is no cost to participate in our research or to be ranked.
