Previously known as Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries, this title provides precedent agreements for the main types of commercial transaction encountered in the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to the print version, each precedent is available via an accompanying website in a format which can be easily downloaded and edited.

Detailed commentary on legal, commercial and practice issues accompanies every precedent. Provided by specialist lawyers from across Europe, this commentary also highlights important differences between English law and that of other key EU jurisdictions: Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Commentary on specific considerations for the US is also provided.

In addition to precedent commentaries, the book also contains detailed commentary and discussion of legal issues common to the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as links to relevant materials (eg regulatory materials on clinical trials).

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.
