 BIOMEDevice Features
 BIOMEDevice Forum: Corporate Partnering
Creating any corporate partnership that will function over the long haul can be a tricky proposition. Cross-sector collaborations among life sciences companies in particular involve a number of issues that, if thought through and handled well when structuring and documenting the transaction, will greatly improve the partnership’s chances of success.
On October 3, Bruce W. Jenett, a shareholder in the law firm of Heller Ehrman LLP (Menlo Park, CA), and formerly co-head of the firm’s life sciences practice, will lead a panel of experts in a lively discussion of the key issues that arise in the process of creating such corporate partnerships, and how best to deal with them from a practical standpoint.
