Edited by Mark Anderson, Anderson & Company

"Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries is a "must-have" reference for life science lawyers and Business Development executives. The short but insightful commentary to each sample form agreement provides the essential context, while the footnote annotations to the clauses of each form drill down for a more focused commentary. Although initially prepared for use in the European market, American readers will benefit greatly from this important compilation." - Brian D. Beglin, Bingham McCutchen LLP, USA
