MISSION & VALUES

Our History

After 19 years for Katherine in “Big Law” and 17 years for Steve as general counsel of a consumer products distribution company, they were ready for a change. In 2013, they combined their knowledge, skills and experience to create Leibowitz Law.

Having been on both sides of the law/business fence, Katherine and Steve wanted to make sophisticated contracts and counseling accessible and understandable to small and mid-sized companies and institutions, enabling them to improve the world with their medical devices, drugs, biologics and technology.

OUR TEAM

our process for contracts

From refreshing forms to drafting new templates to fully managing and negotiating with the other parties, we provide practical counsel to fit your needs.

discover & analyze

If you need a new template or contract review, to best serve you, we will obtain key information about the purpose of the contract, risks and your risk tolerance. These vary by contract and by client.

+

For our off the shelf template clauses and contracts, we will still need initial information from you about the anticipated use so that we can provide the appropriate language.

draft & negotiate

We draft the contract to reflect your risk tolerance, legal and regulatory obligations and evolving industry norms.

+

Our templates and responses to markups anticipate the other party’s reactions in order to reduce the exchange of drafts while meeting your needs.

advise & manage

We counsel on a wide variety of transactional and regulatory matters.  Clients come to us with difficult questions.  We provide quick hit responses or longer discussions, as you request.

+

Issues crop up over time, from new regulatory requirements to corporate structural changes for you or the other party.  We stay current and advise on the shifting legal and regulatory landscapes.

We amend, assign, terminate agreements and more, supporting you as your contracts evolve.

Negotiations & Counseling Experience

Our industry and site clients alike value our extensive experience negotiating with research institutions.  

We regularly draft, negotiate and finalize clinical research contracts, Business Associate Agreements and more.
