Actors in the healthcare sector operate in a highly regulated and constantly evolving environment. Medicinal product and medical device shortages, restrictions for foreign physicians, increasing data protection requirements, strict requirements for licenses and authorizations as well as disputes with health insurance companies are just some of the challenges they have to face. Schütz Law AG offers these players the necessary legal support in dealing with these and similar challenges, enabling clients to focus on their core mission: delivering high-quality medical care to patients.

The performance and innovative strength of the MedTech industry is remarkable. However, it must contend with increasingly complex regulations. For many companies, the main challenge lies in navigating the intricate framework introduced by the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and amendments to Swiss medical device legislation. In this sector, medical device shortages and administrative and criminal proceedings (including sales prohibitions) are also increasingly an issue. Schütz Law AG offers all individuals and institutions in the MedTech industry the necessary legal support so that they can focus on developing innovations and providing the population with safe and effective medical devices.

The handling of medicinal products is highly regulated. Legal knowledge of the requirements for manufacturing, distributing (import, export and wholesale) and dispensing of medicinal products is therefore crucial. Other challenges in the pharmaceutical industry include the applicable advertising regulations, the Ordinance on Integrity and Transparency in the Therapeutic Products Sector (VITH) and the deletions and price reductions on the List of Specialties (SL). Schütz Law AG offers tailored legal advice to pharmaceutical companies and other entities involved in adjacent industries, such as chemicals, foodstuffs, cosmetics, consumer goods, and biocidal products. The firm helps clients address legal challenges and ensures the successful market launch and distribution of their products.

Public law covers a broad spectrum of legal areas that regulate the relationship between the state and its citizens. These include e.g. constitutional law, municipal law, data protection law, environmental law, school law, public employment law and police law. In a world in which the interaction between citizens and state institutions is becoming increasingly complex, specialized knowledge of public law is a great advantage. Schütz Law AG has this specialized expertise and supports public and private institutions as well as private individuals in enforcing their rights and clarifying the legal framework.
