'Introduction to contracts’ training day focuses on life sciences companies

Marks & Clerk Solicitors LLP Cambridge and One Nucleus held a training day last week on an ‘Introduction to contracts’. The course, delivered by Managing Associate Simon Portman, was aimed at individuals involved in the negotiation and management of contracts in life sciences companies of all sizes and university and NHS Trust tech transfer offices.

The event was fully subscribed several days before it took place and the actual day was a huge success. Attendees “liked the anecdotes and learning points” and found the session “really excellent” and “a great experience”. Given the level of interest and the positive feedback, the course will be rerun in the near future.

The session focused on basic contract law issues and different types of contracts, emphasising practical points such as the perils and pitfalls in contract drafting and using standard form contracts to best effect.  The day started with a presentation and concluded with interactive role plays and negotiating exercises.
