Three Day Workshop: Drafting Commercial Contracts for the Pharmaceutical Industry (London, United Kingdom - November 20-22, 2018) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Drafting Commercial Contracts for the Pharmaceutical Industry" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In such a highly regulated industry and in these turbulent times, understanding the key challenges of negotiation and drafting an effective and watertight contract on an international level is a complex topic. It is vital that both legal counsel and commercial executives not only have the key skills and tactics to create a win:win scenario but also the knowledge to ensure any agreement is within the laws and regulations. The alternative is the exposure of the organisation to unnecessary risk and costly disputes, especially with the complications of Brexit fast approaching.
