Norton Rose Fulbright
Norton Rose Fulbright provides legal services to life sciences clients in a broad range of areas, including financial and corporate, intellectual property, product liability and regulatory. The firm's full-service group was shortlisted by LMG Life Sciences for the Canadian Life Cycle Firm of the Year award in 2019.
In the corporate space, Vanessa Grant is regarded as one of the leading attorneys for life sciences-focused deals. She is particularly active for clients in mergers and acquisitions. She recently assisted a healthcare technology company in a joint development agreement. Grant was shortlisted for the Canadian Financial & Corporate Attorney of the Year award in 2019.
"Norton Rose has a very good reputation on the patent litigation side," a competitor says. The firm's intellectual property expertise is supported by a number of skilled attorneys, including Jordana Sanft, who continues to represent Genentech in a patent dispute related to its Herceptin product. Another standout in the IP group is Brian Daley in the Montréal office. He is currently active for I-MED Pharma in a suit brought by TearLab Corporation.
