Life Sciences Disputes: the Next Generation

Arbitration and other ADR tools are increasingly accepted as effective mechanisms for resolving cross-border life sciences disputes. This panel’s speakers will address what type of future disputes will likely arise out of today's R&D, licensing agreements and transactions. The panel will also collectively present five “wishlist” tools and practices that should be more frequently utilised to address the industry’s expectations. Audience members will be invited to react and vote on the speakers’ proposals.
