Introducing Capsule

Our Life Sciences team has launched Capsule, a dedicated website to help life sciences companies stay compliant and competitive.

Capsule addresses the growing complexity facing life sciences companies as they navigate evolving regulatory frameworks, and brings together our expertise across six key sectors: medical devices, pharmaceuticals, digital health, cosmetics, food and chemicals.

The platform provides sector-specific insights, regulatory updates, practical analysis and details of upcoming events, designed to support businesses from Fortune 100 leaders to emerging innovators. The site also includes updates on emerging legislation and insights into regulatory requirements, creating a one stop shop knowledge resource for life sciences companies.

The launch reflects increasing demand for specialised legal counsel in Ireland's expanding life sciences sector. Recent industry developments, including enhanced regulatory oversight and post-Brexit market changes, have created additional compliance challenges for companies operating across EU and global markets. This new resource will assist clients and stakeholders with navigating those challenges.

Michaela Herron, Partner and Head of Life Sciences, said:

"Life sciences companies face an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Capsule provides the practical clarity that businesses need to navigate change confidently. Our sectoral expertise, combined with strong commercial insight, helps clients anticipate challenges and maintain momentum in tightly regulated markets.

The site reflects our commitment to supporting life sciences clients and stakeholders operating in the EU market. Our aim is to provide practical support that helps teams move faster, reduces escalation risk, and keeps products on the market.”

We have been home to Ireland's only dedicated and standalone life sciences regulatory team since 2019, providing trusted EU counsel to leading global companies. Our wider Life Sciences team combines lawyers from specialist areas including regulatory, intellectual property, AI, data privacy and commercial. We are the only Irish practice with featured experts across all life sciences sub-specialisms in the Lexology Index Healthcare & Life Sciences Report: regulatory, product liability defence, patent litigation and transactions. We are the first Irish law firm to develop a resource like this for life sciences companies.

Recent client work includes advising Google LLC on EU medical device requirements for its novel Loss of Pulse Detection product. We also represented Neuraxpharm, a leading European pharmaceutical company, in patent litigation over the Irish launch of a generic multiple sclerosis treatment.

Capsule launches as Ireland's life sciences sector continues to expand, with the country hosting European headquarters for numerous global pharmaceutical, medical device and technology companies. The platform aims to support both established multinational operations and innovative Irish companies seeking to scale internationally.
