Super Results for Ogilvy Renault's Life Sciences Team
April 23, 2008
Toronto, April 23, 2008 - Ogilvy Renault again had its status confirmed as one of the world's top law firms in life sciences. The firm was recently recognized by UK-based Practical Law Company (PLC) as the only Canadian firm in the 2008 Life Sciences Regulatory Super League. It is the second consecutive year Ogilvy Renault ranks in the two-year-old category. The firm was also included in the Life Sciences bi-annual 2005/06 rankings.
The Regulatory Super League identifies the firms with the top regulatory practices in life sciences. This is based on research conducted with law firms and industry general counsel in 34 jurisdictions for the PLC Cross-border Life Sciences Handbook and PLC Which Lawyer?. The combined rankings of Penny S. Bonner and Martha A. Healey again resulted in Ogilvy Renault's inclusion in this elite group.
"This is another impressive achievement for our Life Sciences practice team and its members. We are proud they have been consistently ranked as global leaders for years," said Pierre Bienvenu, Managing Partner, Ogilvy Renault. "Life Sciences law is constantly evolving and our lawyers have the knowledge, skill and experience to adapt and excel with the best in the world."
Ogilvy Renault is the only Canadian law firm listed in the PLC 2007/2008 Life Sciences Cross-border Handbook as:
- a leading firm in life sciences-regulatory
- a leading firm in life sciences-intellectual property
- highly recommended for life sciences-product liability
