Healthcare and Life Sciences

Who we are

Our commission was founded in 2019 and is dedicated to all healthcare and life science matters. This includes regulatory and compliance topics in the MedTech and pharma industry as well as reimbursement, labelling or advertising aspects.

In close collaboration with other commissions, such as T.R.A.D.E., IP/TMT and Antitrust, we further discuss any other topics such as distribution, licensing and market power that are relevant in the healthcare and life sciences industry.

As the healthcare sector is usually regulated heavily at local level, it is even more important to have an exchange with lawyers all over the world. We are glad to also have in-house counsels in our commission, who can provide great insights into their operations and contribute to the valuable exchange between international external and in-house lawyers.

Not only the members of our commission, but all other (current and future) AIJA members are encouraged to reach out to us with interesting topics, ideas for an event or joint working papers.
