Galia Porat
Outside Counsel with In-House Perspective
About
Commercial, regulatory, and litigation-savvy attorney serving as outside general counsel to healthcare, life sciences, and high-growth companies. I advise on the full lifecycle of business operations—from product development and marketing (including promotional review and regulatory compliance) to complex contracting (SaaS, vendor, supply, employment) and day-to-day commercial counseling. I bring a practical, in-house perspective shaped by leadership roles at a global pharmaceutical company and Big Law, where I managed high-stakes investigations, litigation, and enterprise risk. Clients rely on me to build scalable legal processes, navigate complex regulatory and privacy frameworks, and align legal strategy with business growth.
