Greenberg Traurig LLP counsels innovative life sciences companies in the biotech, pharma, medical devices, and healthcare sectors. It handles regulatory and transactional matters, while being particularly strong in IP. The team advises on IP portfolio management and diligence, litigation, and sale internationally, with ‘excellent knowledge’ across jurisdictions. The practice is co-headed by Boston-based patent attorney David Dykeman, focused on securing worldwide IP protection, and Atlanta’s Wayne Elowe, who concentrates on worldwide corporate counseling and complex commercial transactions, such as M&A and joint ventures. Melissa Hunter-Ensor, in Boston, experienced in IP portfolio management, strategic alliances, and litigation strategy, is a key figure in the practice. Chia-Feng Lu, based in Washington DC and Tokyo, applies his ’strategic thinking’ to regulatory and transactional law.
