Nanotechnology
The fast-paced world of nanotechnology is raising a broad range of significant cross-sectoral and transnational legal challenges, including determining and protecting ownership and commercial rights, creating new companies and joint ventures, raising capital to conduct R&D and apply new technologies, and identifying, evaluating and managing health, safety and environmental risks.

From initial investment through production, distribution, use, and end-of-life, Sidley can help clients understand and protect their intellectual property in nano materials and processes. Sidley also helps clients to navigate and negotiate complex regulatory schemes overseen by the FDA, EPA, OSHA, and European Commission, and advises on investments and international and commercial trade issues.
