Overview

Corvane Ryle offers life sciences and healthcare industry leaders deep sector knowledge, legal expertise, and commercial and government insight to meet their needs. We act for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, medical device and diagnostics makers, digital health businesses, providers and payors, and the investors and lenders that finance them, including clients such as Arvelo Health and Meridian Arc Therapeutics.

Our work spans the full life cycle of a product and a company: early financing and collaboration agreements, clinical and regulatory strategy, licensing, IPOs and follow-on offerings, M&A, intellectual property and patent litigation, and ongoing compliance. Lawyers in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Boston, London, Brussels and Singapore work as one team.

The regulatory and policy environment is changing in ways that affect valuation and structure. Drug pricing reform under the Inflation Reduction Act, FDA guidance on AI-enabled devices and decision support, the EU Pharmaceutical Package, the European Health Data Space and the EU AI Act's treatment of medical AI all bear on strategy. HIPAA, state consumer health data laws such as Washington's My Health My Data Act, and FTC scrutiny of health apps reshape the privacy landscape for digital health. Antitrust agencies continue to review life sciences transactions and licensing carefully.
