Ensure clear, structured, risk-free collaborative R&D and joint venture agreements for maximum commercial success in one intensive day
This intensive, practical one-day course will explain what you need to know and do to get the best commercial results from your R&D and joint venture agreements, whether they are operating in the UK or across borders.
