Life Sciences

From "Go" to "Go Public" and Beyond

We breathed life into the life sciences industry. The 1970s saw not only the emergence of the biotech sector, but also the emergence of Mintz as a leading law firm to the life sciences industry. We grew our capabilities in unison with the expansion of legal and business challenges facing industry companies.

Today, almost 50 years later, we have more than 150 practitioners providing a full spectrum of industry-specific business and litigation representation.
