Mon, 13 Apr 2026 08:15:00 -0400

Regulatory Horizons: Supply Chain Sovereignty: How U.S. and EU Regulatory Priorities Are Reshaping Life Sciences Manufacturing

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:45:00 -0400

In Washington, supply chains are now tied to national security, resilience, and public health. We’re seeing that play out in FDA policy, inspection priorities, and legislation like the BIOSECURE Act.

Across the Atlantic, the story is similar—but not identical. The European Union is advancing its own framework through the Critical Medicines Act, shortage‑prevention mandates, and new expectations around manufacturing resilience.

The result is a new reality for global companies: U.S. and EU regulators are aligned in objective, but increasingly divergent in execution.

Today, we’re going to unpack what that means in practice—how onshoring, friend‑shoring, and supply‑chain sovereignty are reshaping compliance, approvals, and enforcement on both sides of the Atlantic. Questions and Comments: wkirton@bakerlaw.com

Regulatory Horizons: What Life Sciences Companies Should Know About the BIOSECURE Act

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Today’s topic is a big one: the BIOSECURE Act, signed into law on December 18, 2025, as part of the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act. The law restricts federal agencies, contractors, and grant recipients from procuring or using biotechnology equipment or services from what the statute calls “biotechnology companies of concern.” This is more than a procurement rule—it has broad implications for biopharma, device companies, CDMOs, CROs, genomics companies, and even research institutions relying on federal funds. Implementation timelines, designations, and compliance obligations are already starting to take shape.

Rev Up! Connected Vehicles: New National Security Law with Major Impact on Connected Vehicles and the Auto Supply Chain

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0400

The topic is connected vehicles and the automotive supply chain and specifically how a new law that became effective on March 17, 2025, has major implications for automakers, auto suppliers, and investors and dealmakers doing business in the Automotive/Mobility Industry.

The new law addresses national security concerns posed by certain transactions involving information and communications technology and services. The law is a regulation out of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security that applies to connected vehicles and certain hardware and software utilized in connected vehicles.

The law seeks to regulate vehicle connectivity system hardware and covered software, or VCS, and automated driving systems software, or ADS, when there is a connection to certain foreign adversaries.

The new law has very broad coverage and likely will apply to every new passenger vehicle sold in the U.S. from the 2030 model year onward. The law is complex and nuanced, comes with penalties for lack of compliance, and will force the industry to add steps in its compliance regime, increasing both costs and the potential for delays.

Our guest today is Melissa Mannino, a partner at BakerHostetler and co-leader of BakerHostetler’s International Trade and National Security team.
