• Assignment, subcontracting and change of control
• Dispute resolution
Different types of contract for life science companies ie:
• Assignments

• Materials evaluation agreements
• Licences in and out
• R&D contracts
• Manufacturing and process development
• Distribution and agency
• Terms of purchase and supply
• Industry specific contracts e.g. website terms, software, tissue banking, clinical trials
Practical points e.g.:
