Blank Rome, a prominent national law firm, has strengthened its life sciences industry team and business litigation group by welcoming three new partners, Rachael Pontikes, Emily Hussey, and Shannon McClure, from Reed Smith. This strategic move aims to bolster the firm’s expertise in the life sciences and health care sectors, as well as enhance its litigation capabilities.
Pontikes and Hussey bring their extensive experience in representing clients within the life sciences and health care industries. Their practice focuses on regulatory compliance, administrative actions, and due diligence concerning health care transactions, as well as licensing matters and industry advocacy. Their client portfolio includes pharmacies, drug manufacturers, distributors, telehealth platforms, and health care providers.
Shannon McClure adds her expertise in handling disputes across federal and state courts, arbitrations, and mediations. Her practice primarily involves representing pharmaceutical and medical device companies, in addition to clients from other sectors. The inclusion of McClure is expected to enhance Blank Rome’s dispute resolution services, particularly in the pharmaceutical and medical device arenas.
