Pharmaceutical Lawyers
Russian pharmaceutical industry is quite complicated from the point of view of legal regulation, because it carries with it complex industry issues of pharmaceuticals, which are not always able to fit into the usual legal structures. This specificity requires lawyers in the pharmaceutical field to have a high level of qualification and the availability of specialized knowledge, both in the field of pharmaceuticals and in the field of legal support for the pharmaceutical business.
The Russian legislation on the circulation of medicines establishes the unconditional priority of state regulation of the circulation of medicines and pharmaceutical substances, which indicates the particular importance of these relationships for society and the state. So, for example, one of the main issues regulated by pharmaceutical law is the registration of medicines, which is fundamentally different from the state registration of all other objects, since it is directly related to the health and life of patients, which determines the priority of state regulation.
The legal regulation of pharmaceuticals should ensure, first of all, the protection of the rights of consumers of medicines, increasing their quality and safety, accessibility and balanced price regulation, public procurement of medicines, as well as other aspects related to public and private interests.
The activities of both Russian and foreign pharmaceutical companies are governed by both general rules of law for all legal entities and special laws relating to the circulation of drugs and pharmaceutical substances. Taking into account the fact that these goods have their own specifics and uniqueness, the current legislation establishes the specifics of the legal regulation of their circulation on the market.
Certain legal issues may arise in almost every business entity involved in the circulation of drugs and pharmaceutical substances.

Solving a large volume of diverse legal issues can be very difficult without the provision of qualified legal assistance.
