Jordan Counsel guides early-stage life sciences companies and university technology transfer offices in the development and commercialization of biotechnology, medical device and nutraceutical products.
Licensing
In addition to drafting and reviewing contracts for in-licensing or out-licensing, we can also facilitate your partner search through our network of life sciences attorneys and business development professionals.
Research
For your pre-clinical, non-clinical and first in man studies, we can help with reviewing and modifying boilerplate contracts from large CROs, as well as drafting new agreements for individual investigators.
Business development activities involve so much uncertainty (eg, with multiple rounds of negotiations) that a flat-fee rate would not be appropriate. In these instances Jordan Counsel’s hourly rate of $350 will apply.
Continue your due diligence.
