Legal teams that advise pharmaceutical and medical device companies are taking on more responsibility each year as regulatory expectations grow across federal, state, and territorial agencies. Whether your firm handles mergers and acquisitions, stock sales, corporate reorganizations, or complex portfolio management, licensing is a critical part of every successful deal. Attorneys who support clients in these industries are realizing that a proactive licensing strategy can significantly reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and improve the client experience.
State License Servicing, Inc. (SLS) works with law firms across the country to help them navigate this increasingly demanding environment. With specialized knowledge of pharmaceutical licensing, compliance, and jurisdiction specific regulations, SLS supports firms that want to deliver high quality legal guidance while keeping regulatory tasks efficient and organized.
Why Licensing Support Matters During Pharma Transactions
Pharmaceutical and medical device transactions involve multiple regulatory layers that can influence the speed and success of a deal. Missing a licensing requirement or misunderstanding a jurisdiction specific rule can delay operations and create compliance exposure for your client. That is why many law firms partner with SLS to support licensing work during Change of Ownership (CHOW) transitions and other transactional events.
Our legal and compliance teams work across all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We provide the guidance and execution needed to keep licensing work aligned with the overall transaction timeline. From early due diligence to post close compliance, SLS helps ensure your client is prepared to operate on day one.
End to End CHOW Licensing Support for Attorneys
CHOW projects require careful coordination with state boards and regulatory agencies. These filings are essential but often time consuming, especially for firms that manage multi state portfolios or high-volume transactional work.
SLS supports law firms by managing:
- License transfers
- Renewals and expirations
- State filings and notifications
- Portfolio reviews
- Communication with regulatory authorities
Your firm maintains its client facing relationship while benefiting from a team that handles every administrative and regulatory requirement. This approach reduces bottlenecks and supports a smooth transition for the client.
