Need to stay abreast of the hottest biotech industry trends? Bored by the usual classroom-style conference? Looking to network with biotech professionals from around the world?

Join us in Madison, Wisconsin, May 5-7 for a biotech conference unlike anything you’ve seen before at the Biotech and the Law 2016 Global Conference & Expo!

MSBA members are central to biotech’s development in Minnesota and beyond by providing the critical counsel and transactional skills necessary to ensure that the industry moves forward safely and responsibly.

Lawyers help link together government, industry, and university efforts. Practitioners in the biotech arena often have a profound effect on laws impacting IP and patents, healthcare, bioethics, and regulatory affairs.

Even for attorneys without scientific backgrounds, opportunities abound in biotech. Lawyers are needed to help bioscience companies navigate the complex legal issues specific to the life science industry, including startup formation, patents and trademarks, equity raises, debt financing, and regulatory, employment, and litigation issues.

The Biotech and the Law conference positions lawyers to take advantage of the business and career opportunities biotech can offer.

• Build your professional expertise in biotech with hands-on experiences in DNA sequencing, diagnostic biomarkers, and much more.
• Gain global perspective as you hear from preeminent national and international presenters.
• Make key connections and share the benefits of sound legal counsel with scientists, business developers, and policymakers.
• Earn up to 14 multi-jurisdictional CLE credits and 1 EPR credit.
