Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Transfers

Companies engaging in Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activities aim to gain momentum by undertaking one or a combination of the following to:

• Increase market share by consolidating their product portfolio into specific therapeutic areas
• Replenish their previously dwindling product pipeline
• Enter into emerging markets with existing and new products
• Reduce costs through the consolidation of manufacturing sites

In many cases, the decisions are made to satisfy shareholder’s and investor stakeholder’s expectations, who are eager to see more immediate business results. However, it is crucial to reflect on the various divisions that must be integrated in this process and be aware that M&A activities bring along tasks that lie outside the scope of the usual everyday business. Additionally many fail to see some of the pitfalls that come with these decisions and to what degree this affects the regulatory affairs department.

PharmaLex is able to leverage their extensive experience working on M&A related RA activities on both a European and worldwide level across multiple client programs to tackle these hurdles and allow current or prospective clients to achieve their corporate goals in a compliant and timely manner.
