Alongside the classic disputes based on molecule patents, our firm is now involved in cutting edge litigation on second medical use claims and biotechnological and genetic inventions. We cooperate with the best patent attorneys and technical experts in Italy and other jurisdictions to ensure that litigation is conducted by the strongest possible team.

In the last 20 years we have represented many of the world’s leading companies in the market, handling extremely challenging cases with an international dimension. Our team works regularly with other top tier firms in other important jurisdictions.

Trevisan & Cuonzo has been closely connected to the Life Sciences industry throughout the life of the firm. From both a transactional and litigation perspective the firm has been involved in major developments and evolutionary changes in the Life Sciences sector through its work with globally important clients.

On the transactional side, we advise our clients across the full range of commercial activity, from joint venture research and development collaboration agreements, clinical trials and clinical research agreements, to high profile partnering deals. We handle capital formation guidance for start-ups and spin-off companies, and out and in licensing agreements for technology transfer, distribution, manufacture and supply agreements.

In short, we are the leading firm in this field in Italy and well regarded across Europe.
