Global Life Sciences & Healthcare Forum 2022

Uncertain times, an evolving legal framework: managing risks and ensuring social responsibility in the life sciences & healthcare sector

Join us for our in-person Global Life Sciences & Healthcare Forum!  

With the sector looking closer at the impact its business is having on the environment and social needs, as well as the role governance plays in how it conducts business, we will explore:

  • Environmental sustainability: pitfalls and opportunities in a tightening regulatory framework
    • Sustainability Claims: legal challenges and best practices
    • The proposed EU Directive on Supply Chain Due Diligence: what to expect?
  • Improving access to health: navigating the legal challenges
    • Bridging the health gap: facilitating access to health with telemedicine, digital tools, virtual reality
    • Access to medicine: alternative models of distribution of medicine 
    • Equity in life sciences/clinical studies

We will also discuss how increasing levels of risk over the last year have impacted the sector, including:

  • Technology Transformation
    • CMS Report on Technology Risks: New technologies give rise to new risks. Managing these risks should be a priority, but adequate measures still need to be developed. We report on our findings as they relate to the life sciences & healthcare sector.
    • Insuring IP risks: An insurer’s approach to assessing and mitigating IP risks, and the challenges and opportunities in this area.
  • A changing commercial landscape
    • Supply chain disruption and contractual hardship / termination: Best practices and considerations in the context of pandemic and war; Shortage of resources and rising inflation: Pricing and competition developments.

The Forum is free to attend.
