In addition, this can also include the distributors of these products, such as pharmacies and companies with in-house pharmacy operations in their retail facilities.
We know that each type of business has its own unique legal issues, and offer our clients an integrated approach, using multidisciplinary teams across for representation. By utilizing a team of attorneys with specific knowledge in various legal areas, we stay abreast of the constantly changing issues affecting these industires.
