A New Firm with Experience

CTTG was established in early 2004, and while the firm is new, our attorneys have over 60 years of combined experience in the health care field. All of our attorneys chose law as their second career and bring to our firm years of practical experience in the basic sciences, technology transfer, clinical research, and the development and marketing of dietary supplements. Our experience includes work in start up biotech companies, major medical research centers, the National Cancer Institute, and the dietary supplement industry. We are able to combine this experience with our legal training to provide clients with practical advice and assistance on their clinical development projects.

Technology Transfer

CTTG’s attorneys have extensive expertise in technology transfer issues. As technology transfer professionals at the National Institutes of Health, they assisted government scientists and researchers to establish partnerships with industry collaborators for the development of a wide range of technology. In private practice they have helped companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and dietary supplement industries negotiate Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs), Clinical Trial Agreements (CTAs) and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with the federal government. They are active affiliate members of the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) and are knowledgeable about the technology transfer issues related to government funding agreements.

Clinical Regulatory Compliance

CTTG attorneys have extensive experience assisting clients in understanding and complying with the federal and state laws and regulations governing the conduct of clinical research. Their experience includes drafting and negotiating clinical trial agreements and investigator and site agreements, as well as providing regulatory review of informed consent documents. Strategically located in the Washington, D.C. area, CTTG follows current developments in clinical research by attending federal advisory committee meetings, congressional hearings, and major national conferences to ensure that our clients are kept abreast of evolving issues in clinical research.

Dietary Supplements

CTTG attorneys also have extensive experience in the legal and regulatory issues affecting the development and marketing of dietary supplements. CTTG attorneys routinely advise companies on a wide range of issues related to the formulation and marketing of dietary supplement, botanical, and “functional food” products to ensure compliance with federal standards for manufacturing, safety, and labeling. CTTG applies this experience to assist clients develop and implement a rational approach to clinical testing of their products, particularly with respect to new dietary ingredients and claims substantiation.
