Waterkant Legal was founded to support Life Sciences and Healthcare Organizations with legal advice that reflects the realities of regulated, innovation-driven businesses.

The practice is built on the understanding that legal questions in life sciences rarely exist in isolation. Decisions around intellectual property, regulation, governance and commercial structures are closely connected and directly impact how organisations operate, grow and create long-term value. Waterkant Legal approaches these questions with a strong emphasis on context, structure and practical implementation.

Drawing on experience from both international law firms and in-house roles within the biotech sector, Waterkant Legal combines technical legal expertise with a deep understanding of internal processes, decision-making dynamics and operational constraints. This dual perspective shapes an advisory style that is pragmatic, anticipatory and closely aligned with business realities.

Rather than positioning itself as a traditional full-service law firm, Waterkant Legal operates as a focused advisory practice. The aim is to provide clarity and structure in complex environments and to act as a reliable sparring partner for founders, management teams and internal stakeholders navigating regulatory and organisational complexity.

Waterkant Legal also places particular importance on making complex legal frameworks accessible and workable. Legal advice is designed to support, not slow down, innovation – enabling organisations to focus on developing products, building teams and entering regulated markets with confidence.

As a modern, virtual boutique law practice, Waterkant Legal offers an alternative to conventional legal services. The emphasis lies on focus, transparency and senior-level involvement, combined with a working style that integrates seamlessly into clients’ day-to-day operations.
