Bio-Technology+Life Sciences

Mason Hayes+Curran has always liked to work with the innovative and this is reflected in our developed expertise in all aspects of the life sciences, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, medical devices and instrumentation, and the IT systems applicable to the life sciences.

The firm advises clients on the legal (including tax) implications and commercial costs or benefits of seeking to patent new products, as well as alternative options for the commercialisation of biotechnological inventions. In this growing business sector, strategic legal and tax advice can be invaluable for developers of products and cutting-edge technology.

Many of MH+C's clients are in the food business - growing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, labelling food or selling it. An in-depth knowledge of the industry and of the specific regulations applying to food production and sale allows Mason Hayes+Curran to provide its clients with timely and professional advice on regulatory matters and on the necessary trading agreements.  The recent establishment of the Irish Food Safety Authority, with its powers of prosecution, makes it even more important for food producers and sellers to be legally advised.
