Healthcare & Life Sciences

The healthcare sector faces increasing pressure to deliver high-quality care while keeping costs manageable. Legislators continuously seek a balance between demand-driven care, competition and collaboration. This results in ongoing changes in healthcare regulation.

At the same time, the organisation and funding of healthcare continue to evolve. The shift from performance-based to outcome-based funding affects contracting, positioning and collaboration. Organisations must not only adapt, but also anticipate what lies ahead.

The life sciences sector develops at pace. Medical software, apps and devices are now embedded in treatment, long-term care and self-diagnosis. This raises new legal questions in areas such as healthcare regulation, market access, data protection and privacy.

Multidisciplinary advice for a sector in transition

Our Healthcare & Life Sciences team brings together expert knowledge from lawyers and (trainee) civil-law notaries across multiple disciplines. This allows us to assess issues in context and respond quickly where different areas of law intersect.

We advise on healthcare law, corporate structures in healthcare, tech & data, procurement, employment law, competition law, construction and healthcare real estate. We also support collaboration models, mergers and other strategic decisions. Where required, notarial support is fully integrated.
