Newark, NJ, June 5, 2013 — Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC announced today that Genevieve M. Spires joined the firm’s FDA and Pharmaceuticals Section as counsel. Spires previously practiced at a New Jersey-based law firm.

“Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney is expanding its FDA practice in New Jersey, which is complemented by the firm’s Washington, D.C.-based FDA practice,” explained Spires. “The firm’s depth in life sciences and FDA compliance, the ability to practice with former FDA and CMS attorneys, and the firm’s national platform made this an attractive move for me,” she added.

Spires provides counsel on the laws and industry standards applicable to the sale and marketing of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. She joins Buchanan’s prominent FDA practice, which includes members from offices in Newark, Princeton, New York and Washington, D.C. Shareholder Linda Pissot Reig, who joined the firm in February of 2011, heads up the practice locally.
