Carissa Freie’s Summary

I spent eight years at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, representing the pharmaceutical industry in multi-million dollar products liability cases before moving to Quintiles' US Clinical Development Services Division in March 2008. As a Site Startup Specialist I negotiate contracts between physicians who are participating in clinical trials and the sponsors whose drugs/devices are being tested. I am also responsible for ensuring their regulatory documents are GCP/ICH/FDA compliant and are IRB-approved. As as a team lead I manage a group of specialists who perform these functions as well as provide guidance to other functional groups.
