“Manches provides EUSA Pharma with a first class service.” Zoe Evans, General Counsel & Company Secretary, EUSA Pharma

Further information

We take an active role in organisations that support the life sciences industry locally and further afield. We are a founder sponsor of the Oxfordshire Bioscience Network which we continue to support. We also active attend Bio networking events in the US, Europe and India in order to strengthen our relationships with clients and law firms overseas. We also hold our own life science-related events, including a series of round-table lunches for senior executives, and we publish a regular newsletter, BioBrief.

Many of our clients are based or operate outside the UK. Although we only advise on English and EU law, where we require input on overseas law we obtain this from our network of firms in other countries with whom we have regular dealings. Owing to our frequent dealings with US companies we have good relationships with a large number of US law firms and are familiar with many of the US legal issues affecting companies in the life sciences sector.
