In recent years the Health sector has faced a sustained wave of regulatory challenges driven by public policy reform, fiscal pressure on health budgets and the emergence of new compliance frameworks.
Healthcare Compliance
Our firm advises on Global Compliance Programs, on effective reporting processes to competent authorities, on the legal duties of management bodies and on the drafting of Standard Operating Procedures. In this regulated environment we have a long track record advising Life Sciences companies on their interactions with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and healthcare organisations (HCOs), with a focus on transparency, on Anti Bribery Programs under the OECD Convention and the FCPA, on UK Bribery Act risk, on Ethics and Integrity Codes, on the design of whistleblowing systems under Law 4990/2022 (transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/1937) and on the operation of compliance hotline services. We also advise on transparency reporting under EFPIA Disclosure Code, on the disclosure of transfers of value to HCPs under EOF guidance and on healthcare advertising compliance under SFEE codes. Our team is regularly invited to deliver lectures and seminars to keep clients informed on compliance developments.
