Sartori & Partners recruits Life Sciences attorneys across the New York market, where we have mapped 250+ practitioners whose practices engage directly with the legal work generated by pharmaceutical development, biotech transactions, medical device regulation, and life sciences licensing — rather than the broader Healthcare bar as a whole.
New York draws Life Sciences legal work through the financing and transactional activity that moves through its capital markets, the presence of major pharmaceutical and biotech companies that require sophisticated regulatory and commercial counsel, and the litigation arising from patent disputes, FDA enforcement, and product liability. Attorneys in this practice handle deal structures specific to drug development partnerships, advise on FDA regulatory strategy, manage patent portfolios, and defend or pursue contentious IP matters. Those skills are not interchangeable with general Healthcare counsel — a Life Sciences mandate requires practitioners with direct and specific exposure to the regulatory and transactional mechanics of the sector.
We carry 39 live mandates in Life Sciences in New York right now, spanning senior associate lateral moves, counsel appointments, and partner-level hires across both law firm practice groups and in-house legal functions. For related coverage, we recruit Life Sciences attorneys in other markets and place across adjacent New York practices including Healthcare Regulatory, Intellectual Property, Capital Markets, and Private Equity.

What types of legal work define Life Sciences practice in New York?
Life Sciences attorneys in New York advise on pharmaceutical licensing and collaboration agreements, FDA regulatory submissions and enforcement response, medical device approvals, and patent prosecution and litigation. On the transactional side, they structure biotech acquisitions, joint ventures, and research partnerships that require fluency with both intellectual property rights and regulatory risk allocation. Contentious work includes patent validity challenges, Hatch-Waxman litigation, and product liability defense. The combination of regulatory, transactional, and litigation competencies within one practice area means the talent pool is narrower than headcount alone suggests — which is why having 250+ mapped practitioners in this market is the starting point, not the shortlist.
