Biotech, medical device, and
related industries are unusual businesses, with high risks and
potentially high rewards. They exist to master scientific
challenges on the frontiers of knowledge, to develop technologies that
may change lives. But they also have to operate under legal,
regulatory, financial and other business pressures. The field
is unusually collaborative as well, which means a company’s success may
depend on scientific partnerships, strategic alliances, or the
licensing of core intellectual property. As the former
general counsel of a publicly-traded biotech company, Bill Stempel
knows the world of life sciences companies from the inside.
His experience includes:
•
In-licensing and out-licensing of intellectual property
•
Strategic partnership transactions
•
Research collaborations with universities and with other
companies
• Clinical trial
agreements
• Manufacturing
agreements
• Laboratory safety
issues
• Human resource issues
• Many other business, financial, and operations issues
