Olivier Saumon photo

Olivier Saumon

Olivier Saumon created the department and recruited the firm's Health / Life Sciences team, which he leads with Céline Roquelle-Meyer and Jean-François Laigneau. Whether in litigation, consulting or negotiation, he has a recognized practice in pharmaceutical law, health product regulation, private sector health institutions and associations in the medico-social sector, biotechnology and food safety. His knowledge of the qualification of health products and of the legislation governing the sale of medicines on the Internet makes him a particularly recognized player in this field. His experience ranges from French and EU distribution law of health and medical products to liability for defective products. He is always on the lookout for new technologies and works with the IP / IT / Data team on e-health matters. He has developed a taste for rhetoric and defense in front of criminal courts since the early years of his professional practice. This has allowed him to have a strong practice of pleading that he now puts at the service of his clients in the health field.
