FDA

Mintz Levin’s FDA practice group provides regulatory and strategic advice to clients regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  Our pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, cosmetic and dietary supplement clients range in size from small start-ups to established Fortune 500 companies, foreign manufacturers, and trade associations.  We are also counsel to investment banks and venture capital companies in connection with public and private stock offerings and mergers and acquisitions involving FDA-regulated companies.  Whatever our clients' size, we listen carefully and leverage our experience to assist them in a cost-effective manner.  We provide guidance to clients through the preclinical development and clinical development phases of product development to product approval, product launch and the myriad of postmarketing obligations.  Enlisting the assistance of our intellectual property, corporate and licensing, securities, health, reimbursement, anti-trust, tax and litigation colleagues, we provide integrated, practical advice for successful product development and marketing.

• Representing clients on compliance and enforcement actions before the FDA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. Department of Justice and state attorneys general.
• Assisting with all aspects of clinical trials, including clinical trial agreements, arrangements with contract research monitors (CROs) and other service providers.
