Drawing from prior company-side leadership roles, Wilson Sonsini’s Business Advisory Practice team brings operator-level experience to help life sciences clients where it’s most needed: capital raises, corporate development and partnering strategy, deal comparables and valuations, and business strategy.
BAP’s professionals function as embedded stakeholders in a company, working in close collaboration with each client’s Wilson Sonsini legal team, when applicable. That seamless coordination means life sciences clients benefit from valuable industry and legal experience. BAP provides extended investor and commercial networks, and broader market reach—that’s the Wilson Sonsini advantage.
Wilson Sonsini's Business Advisory Practice advised Foresight Diagnostics from its Stanford spinout beginnings through Series A and B financings, critical strategic patent considerations, a strategic partnership with Allogene Therapeutics, and ultimately its acquisition by Natera.

We’ve sat in your seat. Wilson Sonsini’s BAP professionals have held leadership and/or operating roles inside life sciences companies, not just advised them. When they advise a founder or CEO on fundraising or a business development leader on partnerships, the advice comes from former insiders who have made those decisions before.
Wilson Sonsini’s BAP team brings together strategy, deal comparables, investor connections, and ongoing support into one cohesive engagement. The team takes on project-based or sustained engagements, depending on each client’s needs.
Our BAP team has industry insider experience based on their prior roles at life sciences companies in key sectors, including the therapeutics, diagnostics, digital health, and medtech industries.
Our foundation is the team's own operating experience and track record. Wilson Sonsini builds on that—adding network, reach, and seamless coordination with the firm's legal practice whenever clients need both.
We calibrate to the realities of each stage of your business. Same operating judgment, applied to the distinct challenges of where your company is at any given moment.
Strategy before execution. Our BD strategy is built collaboratively, so our introductions are purposeful and well-targeted to your specific needs.
