She has particular expertise in advising on launch strategies for orphan medicines. Her work in this sector has encompassed questions relating to exclusivity and complex product labelling strategies relating to potentially overlapping disease classifications and therapeutic indications.
I enjoy working with regulatory specialists to identify and resolve complicated questions about the scope of orphan drug exclusivities. This allows me to work on challenging questions at the intersection between medicine and law, enabling me to deploy my medical knowledge and experience to give practical answers to my clients.

Her medical background and experience have proved advantageous to many of her clients in the life sciences sector, particularly those interested in launching pharmaceuticals and biosimilar medicines onto the UK and European markets.
