We are continuously spending thoughts which type of events could be interesting for mediators as well as for interested non-mediators. In case there is any particular topic you would be interested in, or in case you have additional ideas, which activities of the Life Science Practice Group could be useful for you, please don`t hesitate to contact us and let us know. For the moment, our focus is on creating more general awareness that commercial mediation can be a very useful tool for resolving disputes in a fast, efficient and sustainable way.
