Medical and Pharmaceutical Law
Among the general public, these terms primarily call to mind various lawsuits brought against physicians or pharmacists by dissatisfied patients. In the Czech Republic, however, this is definitely not the main activity in this area of law, which regulates legal relations in a sector where more than 100 billion CZK of public funds are spent every year. Mališ Nevrkla Legal’s professional expertise is a great advantage in this legal field. The firm also benefits from its extensive knowledge of the medical environment and familiarity with the pharmaceutical market, which allows it to provide clients with really comprehensive legal services. In particular this includes:
- continuous counseling for pharmaceutical companies on legal issues that arise in the course of their daily business (clinical trial contracts and other agreements with healthcare institutions and physicians, registration of medicines, legal reviews of advertising materials, ensuring that all activities and procedures comply with ever-expanding healthcare legislation);
- representing pharmaceutical companies in proceedings before the International Association of Pharmaceutical Companies in the Czech Republic (MAFS) and other self regulatory ethical bodies on the pharmaceutical market;
- providing legal assistance to medical facilities and physicians while setting correct procedures for the provision of healthcare (lege artis);
- representing healthcare facilities or patients in medical malpractice suits.
