Jayne P. Bultena Joins Foley Hoag As a Partner in the Government Strategies Practice
Foley Hoag LLP announced today the addition of Jayne P. Bultena as a partner in the Government Strategies Practice. Jayne will work with life sciences companies on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) matters. She is based in the firm’s Washington office.
Jayne joins Foley Hoag most recently from Hogan & Hartson, where she represented food and drug industry clients on a wide range of regulatory and legislative matters, including those involving the FDA. Her practice emphasizes products in the biotech, pharmaceutical and consumer health care sectors. She routinely counsels clients on the development of claims, labeling, and promotional materials for prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, dietary supplements, conventional and functional foods, and cosmetics.
“We are excited to bring Jayne on board to complement our existing government strategies team,” said Nick Littlefield, Chair of the Government Strategies Practice. “Her background and extensive experience practicing before the FDA and similar agencies will add a valuable component to the services we offer to our clients in the life sciences industry.”
Jayne’s practice also involves creating marketing plans addressing policy and regulatory concerns, preparing clients for advisory committee presentations, and conducting internal compliance audits and training. She has notable experience managing compliance crises and promotional violations, including FDA inspections, responding to deficiency and warning letters, conducting recalls, and coordinating media relations connected to compliance issues.
In addition to her extensive experience with FDA issues, Jayne represents clients before other agencies that regulate the sale of consumer products, including the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Of note, she has significant experience with the application of FTC’s advertising standards to OTC drugs, cosmetics and dietary supplements, as well as the CPSC’s packaging requirements for drug and consumer health care products.
Jayne earned her B.S. from the University of South Dakota, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.
