Build practical legal tools embedding claim substantiation and consumer protection compliance into the marketing development process.
Serve as a key legal liaison to Regulatory Affairs, Clinical, Quality, Medical, Product, and Marketing on claim and compliance matters and support legal review for clinical trials and research initiatives that inform marketing claims.
