Medilink North of England enters partnership with Hill Dickinson

Medilink North of England has entered into a partnership agreement with health law firm Hill Dickinson.

Kevin Kiely, chief executive of Medilink said: “We are really pleased to announce our partnership with Hill Dickinson, to provide our members with a first rate legal service with a difference – a culture within the firm of genuinely wanting to help businesses to succeed, not just through the provision of commercial legal services but also through advice on investment and regulation. With a shared ethos, we look forward to working with Hill Dickinson to add real value to members.”

The agreement sees Hill Dickinson become a corporate partner of Medilink and the exclusively recommended provider of legal services to Medilink’s North of England network of members, spin out companies and inward investors. 

James Lawford Davies, a partner at Hill Dickinson, whose specialism is life science regulation and litigation, said: “Entering into a new partnership with Medilink North of England is a reflection of our commitment to life sciences and health technologies. We’re delighted to be working with Kevin and his team, and we look forward to getting to know their member companies and helping them take their products to market in the UK and beyond.

“The healthtech and life sciences sectors span a huge range of rapidly advancing technologies and these are markets we know and understand well. This knowledge, together with our multidisciplinary approach to navigating the often-complex legal issues that can arise when dealing with new technologies, means we are able to handle sector-specific, as well as commercial, IP and all related aspects of a project under one roof.”

As part of the deal, Hill Dickinson will have a dedicated micro site on the Medilink web portal, allowing enquirers direct access to advice and services from the firm and its team of healthtech and life sciences experts.
