Speid Associates

Speid & Associates is a US-based, private consulting firm specializing in global regulatory strategy for drug development. Founded and led by Dr. Lorna Speid, the company offers hands-on regulatory expertise to help biotech and pharma clients overcome development stalls, secure approvals, and bring therapies to market faster. Its business model is purely service-based, focusing on consulting rather than developing its own therapeutic pipeline or technology platform. The firm also runs an educational program, the Drug Development Boot Camp, to train industry professionals.

The firm does not have a technology platform; its value is based on expert regulatory strategy and human capital. It offers a training program called the Drug Development Boot Camp.

Competes with other boutique regulatory consulting firms and the regulatory affairs divisions of large global Contract Research Organizations (CROs). Differentiation is based on the founder's proven track record, personalized service, and specific expertise in rescuing stalled programs and managing appeals. The educational boot camp is a unique ancillary offering.
