DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Drafting Commercial Contracts for the Pharmaceutical Industry" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
In such a highly regulated industry, understanding the key challenges of negotiation and drafting an effective and watertight contract on an international level is a complex topic. It is vital that both legal counsel and commercial executives not only have the key skills and tactics to create a win:win scenario but also the knowledge to ensure any agreement is within the laws and regulations. The alternative is the exposure of the organisation to unnecessary risk and costly disputes.
