DR. SARAFI Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbHFrankfurt am Main · Throughout Germany

For medical content creators, practices, clinics, and health brands

Healthcare & medical creators.

Explain medicine. Check advertising carefully.

An educational video, a product collaboration and a practical contribution can trigger different rules. We support the legal review of health communications on websites and social platforms. The focus is on specific statements, images, collaborations and the handling of patient data.

Discuss your matter

Healthcare & medical creators

From your practice.
For your everyday life.

We connect the legal issues that belong together in your sector. The starting point is your specific project or concern.

01

Posts & health advertising

We look at the product, message, target group and publication together. Drug advertising law, competition law and, in the case of foodstuffs, the special rules for health-related claims are classified according to the respective scope of application.

02

Medical role & cooperation

Which professional requirements apply are also determined by the competent chamber and professional code. We review the specific communication measure and agree on the required scope of the professional review.

03

Patient images, data protection & confidentiality

Treatment reports and before/after presentations need their own review. Consent does not automatically solve all advertising problems. We consider data use, recognizability and confidentiality in context.

04

Editorial rules & complaints

We support you with requirements for editing, approval and cooperation with agencies. In the event of warnings and attacked publications, we review the documents and further action.

Good to know

your questions.

Does the Therapeutic Products Advertising Act apply to every health tip?

Not every contribution is advertising within the scope of the HWG. The content, purpose and subject matter are decisive. General education, drug advertising and advertising for dietary supplements must not be treated equally across the board.

Is an advertising label enough for a product cooperation?

Labeling may be required, but does not make advertising that is inadmissible in terms of content. Professional law, product-related advertising rules and possible misleading must also be considered.

Is this a medical assessment?

We offer a legal review of your communication. Medical effectiveness assessments, approval questions or a comprehensive medical law mandate are therefore not automatically mandated. We will clarify any additional requirements separately.
