Legal Representative Clinical Trials
For sponsors of performance studies based outside the European Union, appointing a legal representative within the Union is a regulatory requirement. This representative acts as the point of contact with EU authorities, ensuring that the study complies with local laws and regulations.
QbD Group can provide your study with the expertise needed to guide you through the regulatory landscape and ensure full compliance with EU requirements.
What is a legal representative?
A Legal Representative is an individual or legal entity established within the European Union that is designated to act on behalf of a non-EU sponsor for regulatory matters related to performance studies. This role is crucial for ensuring that performance studies meet the regulatory requirements set by the EU, including submission to National Competent Authorities and Ethics Committees.
Responsibilities of a legal representative
- Communication with authorities: The legal representative serves as the official point of contact between the sponsor and EU regulatory bodies, such as the Competent Authorities and Ethics Committees.
- Regulatory compliance: They ensure the study adheres to the European Union’s stringent regulatory framework, ensuring that all necessary notifications, authorizations, and amendments are handled in accordance with EU law.
- Representation of the sponsor’s interests: The legal representative is responsible for ensuring that the sponsor's regulatory obligations are met, from initial study notifications to any necessary modifications and study termination.
- Document submission: They manage the submission of required documentation, including those in compliance with Annex XIV and other relevant EU regulations.
