Pharma Practice Group

Legal Services

We are routinely engaged by pharmaceutical and biotech clients for legal counsel in product development processes – including clinical trial design, informed consent, and good clinical practices – as well as advice on obtaining DCGI / DBT approval of drugs, biologic products, especially those that have encountered difficulties in the development or approval process. CLG also provides advise and opinions regarding distribution, promotion, and marketing of innovative drugs, biologics, and medical devices. The team has a clear understanding of the best ways in which to leverage science as well as laws and regulations to meet business objectives.


Policy Advisory

Further, with the advent of new price control regime through Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) 2013 pursuant to the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Policy (NPPP) 2012, the industry was faced with new challenges thrown in by new set of Rules that are often ambiguous and susceptible to multiple interpretations. CLG has worked closely with the Government of India while formulation of NPPP 2012 as well as Drafting of DPCO 2013. CLG has provided advice and assistance to clients for making submissions before the Government Ministries and lead advocacy activities by representing the industry before Government agencies. CLG has also been representing OPPI in the drug Pricing PIL in the Supreme Court of India (WP (C) 423/2003) and in the process has garnered rich experience in the nuances of the present Drug Pricing Policy. CLG continues to advise and represent clients before the Government in their efforts to seek clarification on ambiguous aspects of DPCO 2013 and provides strategic advice to clients in developing their submissions/representations to the Government
