Hello I’m Mayank…

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO

Law and science have always been my twin passions. After starting out as a molecular biologist and earning a PhD, I moved into law because I wanted to help life-science innovators bring their discoveries to patients – safely, ethically and at speed. My scientific grounding still shapes how I think: evidence-based, curious and focused on outcomes.

What I love most is being at the intersection of business, science and strategy, translating complex research, regulation and risk into clear, practical legal solutions that enable progress. Whether it is an early-stage biotech, a global pharma or a med-tech scale-up, every deal, collaboration or licence feels like advancing the next chapter of healthcare innovation and that is deeply rewarding for me.

THE EXPERIENCE I BRING

I bring the rare combination of a scientist’s analytical mindset and a commercial lawyer’s pragmatism. Over 15 years in the pharma, biotech and med-tech industries, with companies such as Alexion (AstraZeneca Rare Disease), Takeda, MSD, Ipsen, Shionogi and Roche, I have led major licensing, R&D, manufacturing, M&A and distribution deals across the UK, EMEA and globally.

Clients value my calm, solution-focused approach, my depth in life-sciences law and my ability to “speak science” while keeping business goals front and centre. I don’t just draft and negotiate contracts, I also help shape strategy, manage risk and find practical routes through regulatory and operational challenges. Within the My Inhouse Lawyer model, that means clients get top-tier legal and strategic support delivered with flexibility, responsiveness and genuine partnership, without the big-firm overheads.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING

I am a firm believer that balance breeds better thinking. Outside work, I recharge through travel, good food and photography and sometimes a dram or two of smoky peaty whisky.
