Global law firm Goodwin today announced that Susan Lee joined the firm’s Life Sciences practice as a partner, resident in the Washington, D.C. office.
“FDA counseling is a key component of our global life sciences platform serving innovators and investors,” said Mitch Bloom, chair of Goodwin’s Life Sciences practice. “Susan’s broad experience in FDA regulatory strategy, commercialization, and issues related to corporate transactions will be invaluable to our clients at all stages of the product and corporate lifecycle. We are thrilled to welcome Susan to Goodwin.”
Lee advises innovative biologics and drug companies on FDA regulatory and compliance matters that arise in the development and commercialization of new products and indications. She has counseled companies across the spectrum of the industry, from early clinical-stage companies to established global players.
Lee is ranked by Legal 500 US as a Next Generation Partner for life sciences and healthcare. Prior to practicing law, she was a manager and consultant with McKinsey & Company and served as a vice president of economic policy at a Washington, D.C. think tank.

The firm’s FDA practice spans drugs, biologics, medical devices, diagnostics, mobile apps, and software, with a deep focus on product development, commercial marketing, and navigating regulatory hurdles that arise before and after products reach the market.
