Law that works for research, not against it
Most legal counsel tells you what you can't do. We tell you what you can.
We believe clinical research should move faster without cutting corners, that innovation deserves encouragement rather than being buried under legal barriers, and that every organization, regardless of size, deserves counsel that understands their operational reality.
We don't just know the regulations; we know the workflows. We don't just see the risks; we see the solutions.
At EEDEE Law, we believe in creativity within compliance, in exploring every option before you choose, and in making the law work for research, not against it.

Lead with possibility instead of barriers

How we can help
We offer specialized services for sites, AMCs, HRPPs, and clinical trial tech vendors.
For Academic Medical Centers & HRPPs
Your HRPP is facing AAHRPP accreditation pressure while managing possible layoffs from NIH funding cuts. Institutional red tape slows everything down, and you need counsel who actually understands the difference between a RIO and COI. We've spent over a decade in academic research administration. We speak your language.
We can help you with:
HRPP overhauls for AAHRPP accreditation readiness and national benchmarking
IRB workload analyses, staffing redesigns, and policy reengineering
Conflict of interest, research misconduct, and data privacy frameworks
Research misconduct investigations and ORI coordination
Crisis management for OHRP/FDA audits and corrective actions
RCR and research integrity training across multi-campus systems
Technology integration (IRB systems, e-consent, CTMS, REDCap)
Data governance under HIPAA, GDPR, and emerging frameworks
Strategic counsel for VPs of Research and HRPP Directors

Let's talk about your needs
You know the frustration: hearing "no" without "here's how." Working with lawyers who've never done your job but tell you how to do it. Needing a partner who understands tight budgets, operational realities, and FDA auditors in the room.
We get it. Innovation and compliance can coexist, and we know how to make it happen.
This is EEDEE Law. We've lived your challenges. Let's solve them together.
