Life Sciences Transactions partner Ewan Townsend was recently quoted in the BBC News article “US and UK agree deal slashing Trump tariffs on cars and metals” and the Law360 article “UK-US Trade Deal Needs Work On Pharma And IP, Pros Say.” The articles cover the recently announced U.K.-U.S. trade agreement and its implications for key sectors, including pharmaceuticals and medical supply chains.
Townsend noted that while the agreement includes references to “preferential treatment” for British firms, the healthcare industry is “left waiting to see exactly what this preferential treatment will mean,” underscoring continued uncertainty around how trade commitments will be implemented in practice.
