About the 2015 Forum

Innovation lies at the core of a successful life sciences sector. However, as research and development and meeting regulatory demands become more expensive, it is imperative that every element in the business machine is effective and cost-efficient. General counsel and members of the legal team are often among the first to be placed under scrutiny. The role of the general counsel now extends to the wider business, providing commercial and legal support to multiple business functions. Now more than ever it’s key that you and your team keep abreast of developments in law and practice to continue to add value to all the key areas of day-to-day activity and long-term strategy.
