The life science industry is growing constantly. Ever-new technology and research results are revolutionising the market. With over four million jobs, the life science industry is one of the largest market sectors in the German economy. In view of the development of the population structure and the shift towards more chronic diseases, this trend will continue. This provides significant growth opportunities for manufacturers, investors, research institutes and universities at the national and international level, especially in times of crisis.

Compared with some other sectors of business, the life science sector is subject to a high degree of regulation. There are national and international laws, statutes and other standards and regulations which determine to a very large extent what is legally permissible and necessary. Special legal knowledge and a knowledge of the special conditions in this sector are of decisive importance for any consulting work in this area.
