StartLife welcomes Axon Lawyers to its network of partners, specializing in legal expertise within the Life Sciences sector. For StartLife, AXON Lawyers is committed to helping start-ups and scale-ups navigate the complex challenges across scientific, technological, financial and regulatory landscapes. Together, we will support businesses in the food & agri space to ensure they can focus on growth without legal obstacles standing in their way.

A keen focus on the regulatory landscape

A sharp eye on the regulatory pathway for a new food ag product is not a nice-to-have, but a need-to-have. We often see start-ups do not realise this during their R&D trajectory, which is a missed opportunity. Via this StartLife partnership, we want to provide them a clear oversight of their regulatory options & obligations as early as possible.

~Karin Verzijden, Partner at Axon Lawyers

In a field where a solid regulatory base is essential for market access, having a legal team that not only understands the science but also sees opportunities is critical. AXON Lawyers brings deep industry knowledge and a strategic approach to address your business needs in the life sciences sector, from novel foods and GMOs to biobased economies and data-driven solutions for platforms providing assistance in dietary changes.

The AXON team provides us with sound legal and regulatory advice, from guidance on investment rounds to the nitty gritty on food and data processing regulations. They always provide us quick and clear input that we can make good progress with.
