@sohailvij
I support life sciences & healthcare clients with M&A transactions, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and commercial agreements.
What I'm looking for
I have supported acquisitions in the life sciences and healthcare sector, handling legal due diligence, transaction drafting, and deal-process coordination.
I draft and review commercial agreements and advise on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, pricing, and product-regulation frameworks for biotechnology and medical device clients.
My cross-border experience at Fletchers Group in the UK strengthened my work across contentious matters, evidence review, litigation drafting, GDPR-aligned disclosure, and stakeholder coordination.
I have also advised pharmaceutical, medical device, and nutraceutical companies on product liability, clinical trial regulation, import-export controls, regulatory risk and long-term legal strategy.
