Allen & Overy is an international legal practice with approximately 5,200 people, including some 530 partners, working in 44 offices worldwide. However, our presence is only half of the story. Our ambition is to help the world’s leading businesses both maximise the opportunities that globalisation presents and meet the potential challenges. Our people work together in a highly integrated manner to leverage their expertise and experience for our clients’ benefit.

Members of our global Life Sciences team act for companies and their investors across the industry. We advise on mergers and acquisitions, commercial transactions (including complex licensing and collaborations), IP (both contentious and non-contentious), capital markets and finance, regulatory and dispute resolution. Our international network ensures that we have a ready resource of expertise in a number of jurisdictions, including those in emerging markets, and that we are well positioned to advise on cross-border work.

We foster creative, independent thinking within a collaborative culture and, as a result, our lawyers are involved in many of the most influential commercial ventures, and are known for providing our clients with transformative solutions to the toughest legal challenges. This, above all, explains why Allen & Overy remains a leader in its field.
