Technology Transactions and Commercial Contracting
Our deal attorneys connect traditional healthcare businesses with technology innovators and providers offering digital health, diagnostics, treatments, and support services aimed at maximizing opportunities and outcomes for our clients. Working closely with our FDA and healthcare regulatory, privacy, and IP teams, our commercial contracting teams counsel our clients in the development, operation, delivery, or receipt of technology solutions that are compliant and protectable in the marketplace. We provide strategic business advice and draft and negotiate commercial agreements, including product licenses, strategic partnerships, complex joint ventures, and distribution arrangements.
Digital Health Regulations
We are deeply familiar with the compliance challenges endured by anyone who works within the healthcare sector and operates in the digital space—whether they are a provider offering telehealth solutions or a software or mobile app developer designing advanced solutions for healthcare providers or others that handle or use healthcare data as part of their business or operations. Our regulatory attorneys are ready to advise on the licensing and compliance requirements for businesses and practitioners providing healthcare services across multiple jurisdictions via video or other digital platforms.
Alongside rapid technological innovation—such as devices changing how healthcare data is collected, and cloud storage solutions changing how data is stored and accessed—we are helping clients navigate federal and state privacy laws relevant to various types of health data. These include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Washington My Health My Data Act, and the federal Health Breach Notification Rule and associated state laws. Additionally, we advise on FDA requirements for wearable products and other devices tangentially related to health services.
