PMPRB Strategies and Litigation

We assist clients with every aspect of the pricing of patented medicines, including navigating the Patented Medicines Regulations and the PMPRB Guidelines.  Our lawyers routinely provide opinions regarding whether a patented invention “pertains” to a medicine so as to trigger the jurisdiction of the PMPRB and provide strategies to optimize the pricing of patented medicines in Canada.

Our lawyers have experience preparing judicial review applications from decisions of the PMPRB and are also well-versed in dispute resolution procedures before the PMPRB, including negotiating VCUs.  Given our vast experience regarding the economics and accounting relevant to the pharmaceutical industry and our extensive network of relevant expert witnesses, our lawyers are also very well situated to act for clients in hearings before the PMPRB.

While our focus is assisting clients with the pricing of their patented medicines in Canada, our lawyers take a global outlook, understanding that Canadian pricing forms part of a dynamic international regulatory environment.

Our lawyers are consistently recognized and recommended by relevant industry publications where they have been described as possessing “superb knowledge of the pharmaceutical sector” (Who’s Who Legal Life Sciences).
