Having practiced in Paris for most of his career, Jonathan bridges the gap between the US and European legal and regulatory traditions. He advises companies on collaborations, product acquisitions, product distribution, the legal and regulatory aspects of product and pricing authorizations, clinical trials, agreements with hospitals and physicians, marketing practices and privacy compliance.
Prior to joining Calliditas, Mr. Schur was a Partner in the Life Sciences team at Goodwin Procter LLP, and before that a partner and co-managing partner of the Paris Office of Dechert LLP. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
“As Calliditas grows its overall footprint and advances its lead product candidate Nefecon towards registration and, if approved, commercialization, the importance of an experienced in-house legal resource becomes increasingly critical. We are excited that Jonathan has agreed to join us and help prepare Calliditas for its next stage of development,” said Renée Aguiar-Lucander, Chief Executive Officer.
“The Calliditas management team has demonstrated its ability to identify products and technologies with significant potential and develop and implement approaches that can maximize their chances of success. I am looking forward to helping Calliditas execute its ambitious and exciting strategy,” said Jonathan Schur.
