A biotech legal practice involves specialized subject matter and
regulatory schemes that, generally, are not part of the business
lawyer's repertoire and which can present many hazards for the
uninitiated. Because of the expansion in biotech practice beyond the
traditional organizations and their representatives, this guide can help
lawyers find their way through the biotech maze. Leading experts in
specialties such as patents, company formation, finance, federal
regulation of research through funding, FDA regulation of biomedical
research, approval of products for human use, privacy issues, litigation
issues and more, will shed some light on this complex subject.
