From experience I know that legal departments frequently need additional resources on a temporary basis and that bridging this gap with law firms is very costly.
That is why I would like to offer you my support as an interim manager with over 14 years of experience as an in-house lawyer and head of legal in the life sciences industry. My extensive expertise in the areas of commercial, contract, corporate, labour, medical devices and pharmaceutical law, digital health, M&A and compliance could provide a significant benefit to your company.
