What Health and Life Sciences Companies Should Know about ICO Draft Guidance on the UK Data Protection Legislation Research Provisions
May 11, 2022
Read time: 2 min
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) published new draft guidance on the provisions in the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, the UK GDPR) relating to processing personal data for research purposes.
The guidance provides clarity to health and life sciences companies and will be broadly welcomed in an area that is often difficult to navigate, not least because the law is contained in various provisions and there has been varying guidance on how to interpret the provisions.
McDermott’s Health partner Sharon Lamb and trainee Michaela Novakova explain the details of the proposal in an article published in Health Tech World.

May 11, 2022
Read time: 4 min
International law firm McDermott Will & Emery is pleased to announce it has again earned the top position in IsraelDesks’ Capital Markets league tables published in Legally Israel 100. McDermott is described as “the head of the pack for regular day-to-day work involving Israeli clients across many cutting-edge sectors, especially technology, bio-tech and life science,” as well as “a strong presence in high-tech… M&A and litigation.”
“Our team continues to provide Israel-based clients and clients doing business in Israel with best-in-class counsel on strategic investments, acquisitions and all business transactions,” Mark Selinger, co-head of the Firm’s Israel group, said. “This ranking further solidifies our position in the Israeli market which has been enhanced by the recent addition of David Huberman, who exemplifies McDermott’s culture of being highly responsive and committed to providing outstanding client service,” Gary Emmanuel, co-head of the Firm’s Israel group, added.
In addition to ranking #1 in Capital Markets by deal volume, McDermott ranked #3 in Hi-Tech and #5 in M&A deal volume. McDermott also ranked top ten in the Energy & Infrastructure, Employment, Litigation and Capital Markets value categories.
Three McDermott lawyers are also recognized with individual rankings based on survey and market feedback from cross-border US and Israel lawyers.
Benjamin (Ben) Strauss is recognized as a “Leading” individual and dubbed an “instrumental player” by a survey participant. Ben often acts as special Delaware and US counsel for Israeli based clients in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements, investment rounds and public offerings involving Delaware corporations and alternative entities. Ben’s ranking jumped from “Prominent Name” in 2021.
Mark Selinger is recognized as a “Prominent” individual. He has worked with Israeli companies for decades in both public offerings and M&A transactions. Legally Israel recognizes Mark for representing Israeli companies doing business internationally since 1994 and representing Israel-headquartered INX as it closed its ethereum-based IPO for USD $85 million that was the first security token offering registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Gary Emmanuel is recognized as a “Notable” individual whose practice focuses on public offerings and regulatory compliance for Israeli companies, representing both issuers and underwriters, with an emphasis on the life science sector.

McDermott Bolsters Real Estate Transactions Firepower in New York and Chicago
May 9, 2022
Read time: 4 min
International law firm McDermott Will & Emery is pleased to announce four partner additions to its real estate practice: Marshall Brozost, Alykhan (Aly) Shivji and Billy Hildbold in New York and Justin Bender in Chicago. The group specializes in commercial real estate, real estate finance and related transactions and will also enhance capabilities for investment funds, tax, capital markets and private equity clients.
“Clients face many unknowns in today’s volatile market and need innovative real estate strategists that understand how to get deals done,” said Harris Siskind, global head of McDermott’s transactions practice. “Marshall, Aly, Billy and Justin’s foresight will expand attractive business opportunities for our clients and grow our New York and Chicago teams.”
This added talent follows an active 2021 where the firm scaled to meet increased client demand with May and September transactions hiring sprees. Notable real estate partner hires included Mal Serure and Zena Ho in Los Angeles and David Wolff in Chicago.
Marshall previously led Orrick Herrington & Sutcliff’s New York Real Estate practice and focuses on complex real estate transactions on behalf of institutional and private equity investors. Additionally, his practice encompasses all aspects of commercial real estate investment, from purchases and sales, formation of joint ventures and real estate funds to mortgage and mezzanine financing, real estate investment trust (REIT) structuring, workouts and leasing.
“I am thrilled to join the dynamic team at McDermott and am confident that my institutional and other clients will benefit immediately and significantly from the Firm’s full-service and global platform,” Marshall said.
Aly also joins McDermott from Orrick and focuses his practice on all aspects of commercial real estate investment, from single asset and portfolio acquisitions and dispositions to the formation of real estate funds and the origination of mortgage and mezzanine financing. Aly has extensive experience structuring and negotiating joint venture and preferred equity agreements as well as commercial leasing. His experience covers a variety of asset types including residential, mixed-use, commercial, hospitality and industrial properties.
Billy joins from Morrison & Foerster and represents clients in complex commercial real estate transactions, including mortgage and mezzanine financing, secondary market acquisitions and sales and the acquisition and disposition of real estate assets. He also has extensive experience in corporate restructuring, refinancing and bankruptcy matters, including complex real estate workouts.
Justin joins from Kirkland & Ellis and is based in Chicago, reuniting with his former colleague David Wolff, head of the Firm’s Chicago real estate practice. Justin focuses his practice on complex real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, financings, joint ventures and development work. He represents developers, lenders, REITs, real estate funds, private equity firms, pension funds and other institutional investors.
