Partners Sylvie Gallage-Alwis and Thomas Rouhette have authored the France jurisdiction chapter in the newly published Medical Devices & Consumer Health Products 2021 Global Practice Guide. They have also authored the 2021 trends and developments section of their chapter.

In their chapter, Sylvie and Thomas discuss applicable product safety regulatory regimes, commercialisation and product life cycles, regulator engagement and enforcement, liability, and policy and legislative reform. They also examine recent trends and developments in the health and medical devices industry, such as the regulation of pharmaceutical sales, anti-gift regulation, medical device innovation, AI in healthcare technology, and PIP implant litigation.

The Medical Devices & Consumer Health Products 2021 guide covers 16 jurisdictions and provides the latest legal information on product safety regulatory regimes; corporate social responsibility (CSR), the environment and sustainability; advertising and product claims; marketing and sales; regulator engagement and enforcement; liability; and the impact of Brexit and COVID-19.
