Michael Finn

Partner, Pinsent Masons LLP

Michael is one of the leading Life Sciences lawyers in Ireland and is recognized as such by all major legal directories.

His practice focuses on complex domestic and international contentious matters. He is a highly regarded as a go-to regulatory lawyer, particularly in relation to medical devices, medicinal and consumer products. He advises on all aspects of product development and launch, including regulatory laws, marketing and advertising laws and codes, as well as navigating complex product liability litigation and recalls.

He has built up a strong expertise in navigating clients through interactions with regulators. Prior to joining Pinsent Masons in November 2019, Michael was a partner at a Top 5 Irish law firm.
