Paris—Paris senior of counsel François Vignaud was interviewed in the latest edition of Lawyer Monthly, in a special Legal focus on Life Sciences in France.

He provides detailed explanation of his role and the firm, and the common types of cases in the Life Sciences sector (acquisitions and regulations). Clients in France face an evolving environment due to the impact of the financial crisis on the French health care system, new regulations affecting marking and distribution, and a substantial increase of litigations in product liability cases. François states that “our firm is particularly active and well-positioned to advise and help clients face these new challenges through a dedicated Life Sciences team in France networked with the other dedicated Life Sciences teams of the Dentons firm throughout the world”.

The sector must be willing to develop innovation and adapt organization in order to deal with new legislation. Future challenges could include potential class actions (not yet available under French law) , which may eventually affect life sciences.

This in-depth article is an excellent document promoting both the Life Sciences group, and Dentons in general.
