Seminar on International Arbitration of Life Sciences Disputes

International Arbitration of Life Sciences Disputes: Key Issues and Best Practices

Description: The life sciences industry – pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, vaccines, and related businesses – is huge, growing and global, with international licensing, sales contracts, research and development agreements, and joint ventures. Each of these international ventures can lead to disputes, and well-positioned life sciences companies prefer international arbitration to litigation as the practical way to achieve confidential, widely enforceable judgments in a neutral setting. Listen in as our distinguished panel of speakers explain why international arbitration is the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for life sciences disputes, before they take a deeper dive into some of the complex issues that can arise in such disputes. Then join us for a reception following the event.
