Mason Hayes & Curran launches Capsule to support life sciences compliance

Business law firm Mason Hayes & Curran has launched Capsule, an online hub designed to help life sciences companies navigate increasingly complex regulatory environments. The platform focuses on six core sectors: medical devices, pharmaceuticals, digital health, cosmetics, food, and chemicals, combining the firm’s regulatory expertise with practical commercial insight.

Capsule provides sector-specific analysis, guidance on emerging legislation, and information on upcoming events, creating a one-stop knowledge resource for both multinational corporations and early-stage innovators. Its introduction comes amid growing regulatory complexity, driven by tighter oversight, post-Brexit adjustments, and evolving EU market pressures. By consolidating critical regulatory and commercial information in a single platform, Capsule aims to support businesses in anticipating challenges, maintaining compliance, and accelerating commercial momentum.

Michaela Herron, partner and head of life sciences at Mason Hayes & Curran, explained that the platform is intended to deliver clarity in a challenging environment: “Our sectoral expertise, combined with strong commercial insight, helps clients anticipate challenges and maintain momentum in tightly regulated markets,” she said.

Ireland’s life sciences sector has grown rapidly in recent years, attracting investment while facing heightened compliance expectations. Capsule reflects the demand for specialised legal support, providing practical tools to manage regulatory risk, ensure market access, and reduce the likelihood of escalation.

Since 2019, Mason Hayes & Curran has hosted Ireland’s only dedicated life sciences regulatory team, giving it a unique advantage in advising clients across the EU and globally. Capsule builds on this foundation, positioning the firm not only as a legal partner but also as a practical resource for industry leaders adapting to evolving rules and regulations.
