Overview

Life Sciences Law, PLLC (LSL) is the first law firm located in the Research Triangle Park area that focuses exclusively on the life sciences sector. We regularly counsel clients on how best to take advantage of scientific breakthroughs and business opportunities both in the United States and abroad. Our attorneys have participated in numerous public offerings (including initial public offerings), venture capital investments, mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, technology transfer transactions, university spin outs and initial financing transactions. We have structured complex licensing, distribution, development and manufacturing agreements to allow our clients to meet their current and future business needs.

We differentiate ourselves from our competitors in a number of respects. First, by operating with relatively low overhead, we are able to provide high quality, innovative legal advice in a cost effective manner. Second, LSL provides value added business advice, facilitating business introductions, identifying funding sources and creating business opportunities. Finally, we only hire experienced attorneys with broad business backgrounds. All of our attorneys have experience in management consulting or working for life science companies. Every member of our team is ready to hit the ground running to meet your company's needs.

Despite the recent downturn in the economy and the resulting downsizing of most law firms, Life Sciences Law has thrived and expanded. Our clients include large pharmaceutical companies, such as Bayer Corporation and Bayer AG, pre-IPO biotechnology companies, such as BioStratum Corporation, funded companies, such as Nobex Corporation and TherapyEdge, Inc., spin-outs from the local universities, including Inneroptic Technology, Inc. and Angiomics, Inc., and other venture stage companies, such as Jenken Biosciences, Inc., AcSentient, Inc. and BioLink Life Sciences. With the convergence of the agriculture and biotechnology industries, LSL has expanded its client base to include Aventis CropScience (now Bayer CropScience) and StarLink Logistics, Inc.
