Malte is an experienced lawyer dedicated to advising ambitious life sciences companies both from Germany and around the world.
His practice covers the full legal spectrum that life sciences companies encounter as they form, develop, manufacture, commercialise, grow and collaborate: EU and German regulatory matters, commercial contracts and licensing, healthcare compliance, and corporate transactions including M&A, private equity investments and exit strategies. He also assists in situations of commercial or contractual distress with regard to disputes, product recalls and product liability.
Malte advises a broad range of clients across the industry ecosystem: pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device and diagnostics manufacturers, clinical research organisations, distributors, and companies operating in the medicinal cannabis sector – one of Europe’s most complex and fastest-growing regulatory environments. His clients range from early-stage startups to established mid-market and large international businesses, all operating at the intersection of scientific ambition and regulatory and commercial reality.
Whatever the size or stage of the company, Malte’s approach is to provide clear, practical and commercially minded high-quality advice that reflects a genuine understanding of the sector and the client’s actual needs.
