Our Experience

Case Study

Mintz advised client ArriVent BioPharma, a clinical-stage company dedicated to accelerating the global development of innovative biopharmaceutical therapeutics, on its upsized $175 million IPO on Nasdaq.

$50B+ in transactions handled since 2020

including public offerings, joint ventures, licensing and complex collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, distribution deals, and private financings

Case Study
Mintz’s work for synthetic biotic company Synlogic Inc. has included raising over $100 million in three VC financing rounds.

Our Approach

There is no one-size-fits-all approach for life sciences clients.  But, our integrated intellectual property, regulatory, litigation, and corporate practices provide a one-size-fits-all TEAM for all clients.  We help entrepreneurs launch great ideas from the lab.  We help growing companies get funded and navigate the complex web of regulatory approvals.  We help public companies remain compliant with SEC requirements.  We help investors and underwriters secure positions as industry leaders.  We help companies strategically expand and protect their IP assets – including the new terrain of artificial intelligence and machine learning.  And, we assist clients in mitigating risk and navigating high-stakes commercial, regulatory, and IP litigation.  Life sciences companies rely on Mintz to address all of their legal needs at all stages of their life cycle.
