Čechová & Partners is one of the leading law firms providing advice to the pharmaceutical industry. Legal advice by our law firm is regularly utilized by many innovative pharmaceutical companies operating in the Slovak market, but we also advise a number of companies with generic portfolios, as well as companies without a permanent presence in the Slovak market. Our assistance is focused on complete service with respect to issues concerning this sector: compliance with regulatory requirements, consumer protection, advertising, sponsorship, expert events, contracts, distribution, price regulation, reimbursement, marketing authorisation, specific aspects of competition law, clinical trials and research, medical records and privacy, pharmacovigilance, liability for damage, employment issues, public procurement or commercial support. We have also given legal advice on these matters to other entities operating in the area of healthcare including the distribution and production of medical devices, dietetic foods, and food supplements.
