The main specialization field of MKM + PARTNER in the Pharmaceuticals sector is the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. In particular, we are dedicated to companies that specialize in pharmaceutical research, clinical trials as well as manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.
The market for research, production and distribution of pharmaceutical products is heavily regulated. Companies must comply with the legal requirements for the harmonization of the European drug market, specific requirements for the protection of the health of test subjects and consumers as well as special data protection regulations regarding the use of test subjects’ data in research and clinical trials.
Products brought to market may only be advertised within the framework of strict regulations. At the same time, rapid progress is taking place in the field of medicine and pharmacy. The advancing young sector of digital healthcare is a prominent example of this.
