OBN C-Suite Breakfast: ‘The Art of Dealmaking’

Director of Life Sciences, Tarquin Bennett-Coles will be attending the OBN C-Suite Breakfast: ‘The Art of Dealmaking’ on 5th February in Cambridge. 

The event, kindly hosted by Mills & Reeve in Cambridge, will feature keynotes from two industry experts who will share insight into the complexities of dealmaking for life sciences R&D’s, including the types of deal structures, co-commercialisation, partnerships, and de-risking research.

They will also consider upstream partnership agreements, as well as the importance of protecting patents, know-how and other IP, and how conducting the appropriate levels of due diligence is absolutely critical.

Finally we will consider the potential threats, challenges and ‘poison pills’ that exist in the deal making process and consider how R&Ds can stay protected, and thrive, throughout this uncertain process.
