Negotiating, Drafting and Understanding Commercial Contracts for the Pharmaceutical Industry In such a highly regulated sector understanding the key challenges of negotiation and drafting an effective and watertight contract on an international level is a complex topic. They can be difficult for even the most equipped in-house lawyer and most often it is not the lawyer in the driving seat. Commercial managers from all areas of the pharmaceutical industry are leading negotiations, drafting and managing key contracts on a daily basis. It is vital that both legal counsel and commercial executives not only have the key skills and tactics to create a win:win scenario but also the knowledge to ensure any agreement is within the laws and regulations. The alternative is the exposure of the organisation to unnecessary risk and potential costly disputes.

‘The programme has been specifically designed for commercial managers and in-house counsel from all areas of the pharmaceutical sector to understand and perfect all stages of the contract process’

Falconbury have developed this unique three-day programme that looks at both elements of the process. Using practical exercises, industry examples and discussions it will examine the key skills needed from both legal and commercial and how they integrate.

From R&D, clinical, regulatory, commercial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution and purchasing, including: •

Commercial and contract managers

The programme has been specifically designed for commercial managers and in-house counsel from all areas of the pharmaceutical sector to understand and perfect all stages of the process.

IN-HOUSE TRAINING Falconbury are aware that a public training programme may not be the solution to commercial and contract issues within your organisation. It may be more appropriate to involve only attendees from your organisation and tailor the programme to focus on the current challenges you face as a business.

Tailoring the programme to fit your needs We can deliver the ‘Negotiating, Understanding and Drafting Commercial Contracts for the Pharmaceutical Industry’ to you as an in-house tailored programme. In this format you will benefit from the intensive, practical and challenging programme that provides a solid grounding in the essential skills and techniques all legal and commercial managers need when dealing with pharma contracts. Also the programme will be developed to directly reflect your corporate culture and current business issues. The structure and the content of the programme can be modified to suit your logistical requirements as well as your training needs.

Extensive bank of exceptional trainers Falconbury has brought together our most motivated and forward-thinking trainers to deliver tailored in-house programmes developed specifically around the needs within your organisation. All our trainers have a practical commercial background and highly refined people skills. During the course of the programme they act as facilitator, trainer and mentor, adapting their style to ensure that each individual benefits equally from their knowledge to develop new skills.

Practical applied training Our trainers use a balanced blend of practical and theoretical learning. Participants always benefit from the opportunity to practice new skills and develop real competence in business management skills. A case study based on current challenges facing your organisation can be developed. This will enable the attendees to examine several solutions under the guidance of our expert trainers and then take these solutions back to the workplace for implementation.
