Our technology transactions department is divided into two practice groups—Biotech (known internally as TTG-Bio) and IT (known as TTG-IT). The work they do is very similar—representing our clients in all manner of agreements (more on that here). What truly distinguishes these two tech trans groups from each other is who their clients are.
Our TTG-Bio group works exclusively with biotech and life sciences clients. From supporting start-up clients signing their first commercial agreements to advising mature and influential companies on negotiating world-changing partnerships and collaboration agreements, our TTG-Bio attorneys represent clients in every part of the life sciences industry and at every stage of corporate growth.
Industries represented by our TTG-Bio practice include medical devices, pharmaceuticals, digital health, generics, academic and research institutions, and diagnostics, among many others. TTG-Bio works closely with clients to help them get products to market, and often works with research universities on licensing and research silos.
Our junior associates work across many industries to develop experience and get exposure to many different types of clients. As they progress in their careers, our TTG-Bio associates find the industries in which they are most interested and develop deep knowledge in those fields. As they become senior attorneys, many become specialists in those industries and the work that fuels them.
There is no particular background or experience required to join our TTG-Bio group. While many of our attorneys have STEM or life sciences degrees, we also have many successful associates and partners who don’t have those backgrounds. Please check out TTG-Bio if you have a science background in education or work—but also if you don’t! Our TTG-Bio group is based in our Boston, New York, Palo Alto, and San Diego offices.
