Dilworth Paxson announced today the addition of partner Christina Strong and of counsel Kiliaen Van Rensselaer Strong to its Princeton office. 

“Our region is an international magnet for businesses in health sciences,” said Dilworth Chairman Larry McMichael. “The growth of Dilworth’s Health Law practice is a strategic objective and we’re delighted to have Christina and Kiliaen join the health care lawyers already at Dilworth, making health law one of our preeminent practices.”

She has provided counsel on such diverse issues of regulatory compliance as corporate goverance and compliance, HIPAA, and research. Christina is particularly committed to serving in an outside General Counsel role, which allows her to focus on clients’ concerns holistically and cost-effectively.

Her work in health care law and policy involves representing numerous non-profit and provider organizations, as well as trade groups, medical societies, and individual providers and practices. Christina has particular experience in the areas of organ and tissue donation for transplant, education, and research, and has been closely involved in state and national law and policy development concerning authorization for and allocation of organs and tissues, neurologic death, donation after circulatory death and medical examiner law development, as well as end -of life issues.

Kiliaen Van Rensselaer Strong’s practice focuses on the diverse but interrelated areas of cannabis, life sciences, health care regulatory compliance, privacy and technology, and nonprofit law.

Kiliaen has been heavily involved in New Jersey’s cannabis industry since the first medical dispensaries opened in the state. He has hands-on experience with the industry’s unique aspects, including license applications, general operations, contract negotiations, regulatory compliance, real estate, labor, and marketing. Kiliaen has represented cultivators, dispensaries, manufacturers, wholesalers, CBD start-ups and retailers, and research and policy organizations. Kiliaen’s regulatory and compliance practice within the life sciences and organ and tissue donation industries has involved working with tissue banks, eye banks, non-transplant anatomical banks, donor registries, medical education and research entities, and organ procurement organizations.
