March 11, 2020 – Cross-Border Life Sciences Agreements: Arbitration and Risk Management – For those who conduct business internationally, arbitration is often preferable to litigation as a practical, party-led process to resolve disputes and achieve confidential, widely enforceable decisions in a neutral setting. Many in the life sciences industry have dealt with international licensing, sales contracts, research and development agreements, and joint ventures that could potentially lead to a cross-border dispute. Join us for this CLE luncheon programme to discuss best practices and tips for using international arbitration to protect clients in international deals and how to avoid common mistakes that can cost time and money.
