MEDICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL LAW

In the health sector, a legal mistake rarely remains merely legal – it can cost a licence, a product's place on the market or patients' trust. Labelling of food supplements, advertising of a medicine or a patient's complaint about treatment – these are situations that require an understanding of both the legislation and the logic of the supervisory authorities.

We advise manufacturers, distributors, healthcare institutions and doctors, and represent their interests before authorities and courts.

How we can help

  • Food supplementsrequirements for manufacturing and trade, labelling, disputes with supervisory authorities.
  • Medicinal productsregistration and distribution.
  • Advertising and compliancereview of advertising content before publication and disputes over advertising infringements.
  • Trademarksregistration and protection in Lithuania, the EU and beyond (in Kazakhstan, Dubai, Saudi Arabia), copying disputes.
  • Patients' rights and compensation for damagedisputes in civil and criminal proceedings, including dental services.
  • Doctors' reputationrefutation of information that damages a doctor's honour, dignity or professional reputation.

Where we represent clients

Before the State Food and Veterinary Service, the Ministry of Health, the Commission for the Assessment of Damage to Patients' Health, the Competition Council, the State Consumer Rights Protection Authority, the State Accreditation Service for Healthcare Activities, in the courts and in negotiations in the private sector.

How we work

First, we assess which requirements apply specifically to your product or activity and where the greatest risk lies. A preventive review of advertising, labelling or contracts often costs considerably less than a later dispute with an authority.

When you receive a letter from an authority or a claim from a patient, it is important to respond in good time and with care – the first response often becomes evidence.
