Dispute Resolution/Litigation support
Alliances frequently go sour, and disputes that become visible through court cases are only the tip of the iceberg. No formal alliance contract can account for all eventualities affecting the intellectual property rights and the sharing of value during the life cycle of the product at the centre of the alliance. In the most successful alliances, many significant collaborative decisions are made following the signing of the agreement by using informal channels of communication built on good relations between the contracting parties – i.e. and not previously codified in the contract. When this good relationship is not in place, new situations can open up disputes and can lead to litigation. PharmaVentures builds on its technical, market and valuation expertise to advise its clients on issues of value distribution in disagreements, and provides expert reports and a court witness service though its highly experienced expert consultants. Our experts have a long history in the industry and this, supported by our robust analytical capabilities, that makes them ideal witnesses during litigation proceedings.
