Join Marks & Clerk, The Science & Technology Facilities Council and Bruntwood SciTech for an in depth look into contracts for Life Sciences.

For life science companies, a wide array of contract types caters to their unique needs. These contracts include assignments, confidentiality agreements, materials evaluation agreements, licenses in and out, R&D contracts, manufacturing and process development contracts, distribution and agency agreements, and terms of purchase and supply. Industry-specific contracts, such as website terms, software agreements, tissue banking contracts, and clinical trial agreements, are also vital in this sector.

At the end of this session, you will have a much better understanding of foundational contract principles, navigating the diverse range of contracts as well as addressing practical considerations essential for successful contract management and compliance in this specialised industry.

This is a must-attend session for entrepreneurs, start-up founders, innovation experts and management teams
