Sector Overview

WONE in
Life Sciences & Healthcare.

Life sciences is one of the most heavily regulated sectors in every market WONE operates in — and the regulatory requirements are rarely harmonised between jurisdictions. A pharmaceutical company with products in 20 markets faces 20 different regulatory approval frameworks, 20 different pricing regimes, and 20 different compliance obligations simultaneously.

WONE's life sciences practice combines regulatory expertise with the cross-border coordination that global pharmaceutical and medical device businesses require. WONE's presence in emerging markets — where patent expiry and generic competition dynamics are playing out differently from developed markets — is a particular strength for businesses managing global portfolio strategies.

01
Multi-jurisdiction regulatory approval — EMA, FDA, and emerging market equivalents
Obtaining marketing authorisation across multiple markets requires coordinated regulatory strategy, consistent clinical data packages, and regulatory affairs expertise in every target jurisdiction — including markets where regulatory agencies operate very differently from the EMA or FDA.
02
Transfer pricing in pharma — IP, manufacturing, and distribution
Pharmaceutical companies with IP held in one jurisdiction, manufacturing in another, and distribution in a third face transfer pricing scrutiny on every intercompany flow. Documenting and defending these arrangements requires coordinated specialist advice.
03
Clinical trial compliance across multiple legal systems
Multi-country clinical trials involve compliance obligations in every country where a trial site operates — ethics approvals, regulatory notifications, data privacy requirements, and local employment law for clinical staff.
04
Cross-border healthcare M&A — regulatory and commercial complexity
Healthcare M&A involves sector-specific regulatory approvals, complex reimbursement considerations, and clinical governance due diligence that must be conducted across every jurisdiction where the target operates.
