Partners LLC: Biomedical Consulting

The principals of LSP have worked in several areas of business development for well over a decade each.  Their experience spans a wide spectrum of sizes and types of biomedical firms.  Based on information gained from well over 100 due diligence investigations, these qualified executives have structured and negotiated product licenses and contract manufacturing relationships with annual revenue potential ranging from $ 100 million to more than $ 500 million.  LSP's principals have the skills to assist several types of organizations.

Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Firms

For both emerging companies and larger established firms, LSP can assist with strategic planning that will help you

• Define your corporate mission and development objective

• Optimize your product portfolio

• Understand and address your firms major markets and competitive environment

• Identify and capitalize on your core competencies

LSP can help companies to identify development opportunities that fit well with a firm's objectives for growth and product profile, and then to skillfully assess those opportunities relative to technical merit, potential regulatory issues, and the probability for success from the clinical, regulatory and commercial aspects.  LSP can also assist in a firm's decision to develop an opportunity in-house versus out-licensing or establishing a corporate partnership.

For those development candidates that are best partnered or licensed, LSP can help you select and qualify the best partner, and then structure and negotiate an optimal licensing agreement.  Finally, the development experience of LSP's principals can help you to structure and manage an effective corporate partnership.

Venture Capital Groups

LSP prepares analyses for venture capital groups of the structure, management, technology and strategic focus of emerging firms. LSP can perform due diligence investigations that include assessments of a firm's product portfolio, the adequacy of its infrastructure, its ability to perform essential development tasks in-house, and the suitability of its contractual relationships with consultants and specialty firms to provide development capabilities not available in-house.  Venture capital organizations will also benefit from the background and extensive skill sets that LSP's principals have gained from long experience in scientific and technical aspects of product development -- including their involvement with regulatory, quality and compliance tasks, as well as clinical development -- as well as from their extensive experience in evaluating development opportunities and corporate partners.
