Drafting Commercial Contracts for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Very concentrated and structured content. All speakers had high level expertise on the topics presented. Useful for in-house practitioners (lawyers, BD) in the pharmaceutical industry as a guide to the main topics in contract drafting. I have expanded my knowledge [on] license agreement issues, IP issues, Co-development agreements.
