Prior to joining ST&R, Mr. Friede ran his own law firm specializing in FDA-related legal and regulatory matters. He has served as associate chief counsel in the FDA’s Chief Counsel’s Office, representing the agency in significant judicial and administrative proceedings while also serving as counsel to the then-Bureau of Radiological Health, now part of FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. He has held a number of senior in-house legal positions with major corporations in FDA-regulated industries, including Senior Corporate Counsel of Pfizer and General Counsel of multi-national Unilever’s U.S. food business. He has served as adjunct professor of food and drug law at the University of Miami School of Law.

Mr. Friede is admitted to practice in California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia and Maryland. He received his B.S. degree in mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh and his J.D. from the George Washington University School of Law. His professional affiliations have included serving as chairman of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Law Section of the New York State Bar Association, a member of the board of trustees of the Food and Drug Law Institute, and chairman of the Government Relations Committee of what is now the Personal Care Products Council. In the course of his career, Mr. Friede has been an active participant in the legal and regulatory committees of major trade associations such as the Pharmaceutical Industry Manufacturers Association, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, the Grocery Manufacturers of America, the National Food Processors Association, and medical-device technology association AdvaMed.
