Carefully drafted contracts are the key to stable collaborations in the pharmaceutical, medtech, and healthcare sectors. You will receive contractual solutions that take both regulatory requirements and economic objectives into account.

Advertising claims must be legally sound and effective in the market. I review and develop advertising concepts that comply with the German Medicines Act (AMG), the German Advertising Act for Medicinal Products (HWG), and the German Telemedia Act (TMG), and that meet both technical and digital requirements.

Compliance

An effective compliance system protects your company from risks and builds trust with authorities and partners. I support you in establishing structures or optimizing existing systems so that they are both legally sound and operationally practical.

I offer practical, customized training courses on pharmaceutical law, medical device law, advertising law, and compliance. The content is easy to understand, directly applicable, and specifically tailored to management and employees. Workshop-style formats promote exchange and support sound decision-making as well as the reliable implementation of regulatory requirements.
