Go Global in Life Sciences:
The Legal and Practical Sides of M&A, Privacy, and Licensing

For many entrepreneurs, going global may be the next stage of growth. Scaling across borders can protect a business from the risk of decline in domestic markets and improve overall growth potential. But global expansion can be daunting and present challenges that many entrepreneurs have not experienced before. Dangers might include losing focus on the core business, cultural differences that carry over into business dealings, language barriers, and a different legal framework.

A distinguished lineup of speakers will contribute to this two-part series to shed light on how best to plan for global expansion into Switzerland and the U.S. In particular, presenters will discuss how each key area is currently handled by U.S. regulatory authorities and courts, and how that approach differs from that of Swiss and European regulatory authorities and courts.

Each session will highlight:

  • M&A and Carve-Outs
  • Data Privacy
  • Licensing
  • How These Affect a Business Model
  • Implementation Within a Business Plan
