PRODUCT ACQUISITION EXPERIENCE
Legacy management has extensive experience with the acquisition of pharmaceutical products, as well as related skills in product transfer and regulatory issues. Individually and as a team, Legacy management has been involved in the acquisition of dozens of products.
Notably, Legacy managements product acquisition experience includes ICNs acquisition from Roche of two baskets of products, including Efudix, Mestinon, Librax, Librium, Ancotil, Protamin, Prostigmin and Fluorouracil in 1997 and 1998. Most of these products are currently manufactured by Legacy.
