Biotech Lawyers

What is Biotech?

Biotech, or biological technology describes any technology harnessing the power of natural processes and biology such as cellular and biomolecular processes to create products and services with the potential to create groundbreaking impact on people’s lives and the planet, such as breakthrough treatment of rare and previously incurable diseases, increasing survival odds for life-threatening conditions and improving manufacturing processes to create less toxic waste byproducts.

How Big is it?

The global biotech industry has a market size of roughly USD 1372 billion in 2022, according to Grand View Research, and is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years. The COVID-19 pandemic has driven up the industry’s demand, with renewed interest and support in advancing vaccination production and advancements in drug manufacturing, which is a continuing trend as the world tries to better equip itself for future outbreaks and other large scale medical concerns.

How can Biztech enable biotechs?

Biztech Lawyers have been working with both emerging and well-established biotech and life science companies and research institutions, assisting them to weave through the complexities of regulation and empowering their growth.

Biotech start-ups face numerous legal challenges and complexities through their journey to scaling up. This requires expert guidance to effectively navigate. As a biotech company, it is important to form the right entity required for your purposes when you first start up, and the proper documentation allocating shareholder rights and directorship, such as ESOP agreements, employment agreements, shareholder agreements and more. 

Another vital aspect is ensuring that intellectual property rights and patents over groundbreaking discoveries and processes are secure. Biotech companies have their lifeblood in the ideas and conceptions formulating the basis of their products, and it is important that protection remains continuous. Biztech Lawyers can assist you in identifying any existing gaps, issues and potential strategies for intellectual property and patent protection as well as the commercialisation aspects through drafting and reviewing trade secret and confidentiality agreements, patent and copyright applications and other commercial agreements.
