Medlawconsult is based in The Hague, the governmental
capital of the Netherlands. We have a thorough knowledge of Dutch
medical law and of the European rules and jurisprudence on the
free movement of health care services and patients. We are experts
on regulatory affairs of biomedical and health research and bio-tech
start ups.
As such we have a thorough knowledge of the applicable
international and Dutch regulations, and at least a global knowledge
of the national regulations in many European countries and the
US, we are experts on legal aspects of regulatory affairs of
biomedical and health research and bio-tech start ups.
Our clients range from governmental agencies and university hospitals to home care organisations. In the field of regulatory affairs we provide services to researchers and their professional organisations and to some international consortia. Dedication is our motto: dedication to our clients, to our profession, to the public interests which are embedded in health care.
One of our main activities is to translate applicable regulations and jurisprudence into the policies and concrete activities of our clients. But this can work the other way around as well: to translate what is happening with our clients, and sometimes worrying them, in legislation or jurisprudence to come. In that respect 'public affairs' have to some extent become part of our activities as well. Usually we are able to bridge differences, but when a choice has to be made, we choose for those actively involved in providing health care or doing medical research.
Research is impossible today without cooperation. Starting from the public interests which we have always have kept in mind and our clients from academia, we have contributed to several agreements where not for profit and commercial research can work together in a balanced way, including solutions for issues of intellectual property rights which are involved in such cooperation.
Medlawconsult was the leading partner for all the legal and ethical aspects
of the TUBAFROST project.
Together with the other partners Medlawconsult developed the European Code of Conduct for the use of residual tissue for research.
In June 2005 Medlawconsult was chosen as the partner for the regulatory affairs which surround the ambitious VIRGIL programme. Earlier one of the members of the network chose Medlawconsult as its primary advisor for the privacy and safety aspects related to the envisaged European network of online consultation services. Our philosophy of 'offering solutions' instead of raising new problems will pay off here in a both safer, more flexible and cost-efficient functioning of the service.
Evert-Ben van Veen, president of Medlawconsult, is a member of various
Dutch organisations for legal professionals. He is also a member of RAPS,
the society for regulatory affairs professionals in the biomedical sciences
and of ISBER. He actively publishes in legal scientific periodicals and has given various presentations, especially on rules and governance of tissuebanking on which he has become an outstanding expert.
