Health tech

Health tech and digital health are transforming health and care. The sector faces unprecedented changes with the use of technology and data redefining access, quality and cost of healthcare.

Our multi-disciplinary team of lawyers combines the expertise of our technology and life sciences teams with experts from our health and care sector who act for both NHS organisations and independent health providers.

Our combined experience across different sectors means we can help on a broad range of issues, such as service transformation projects or optimising complex data and information flows.

We also have significant experience of advising digital therapeutics companies.
