Licensing and Distribution
Porzio counsels clients on the particular laws related to the wholesale distribution of prescription, device, and over-the-counter (OTC) products in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our attorneys have extensive experience analyzing the individual state wholesale distribution statutes and regulations and advising clients on whether a license to manufacture or distribute a product is required and how best to obtain any necessary licenses. Our significant experience with the various state boards of pharmacy allows Porzio to provide clients with the most relevant and current information. Porzio also counsel clients on the implications of federal initiatives in the wholesale distribution arena.
Our subsidiary, Porzio Life Sciences, LLC, provides licensing services to guide manufacturers and distributors through the burdensome and time-consuming licensing process for trade product and samples.

Porzio Life Sciences also offers Porzio Compliance Modules that address whole distribution requirements.
