Litigation Challenges For Life Sciences Companies — Addressing Your Exposure

This Foley Executive Briefing Series program examined the common sources of litigation for life sciences companies as well as methods for mitigating exposure when these issues arise.

• What is involved in litigating these issues?
  
• What types of relief may be sought?
  
• What does litigation cost?
