Building a successful life sciences company requires more than breakthrough technology. From securing foundational intellectual property rights to raising institutional capital and negotiating strategic partnerships, the legal and commercial decisions made along the way can have lasting implications for a company's growth and value. Join attorneys Tyler Hastings and Gavin Liu for a practical, transaction-focused discussion of the legal strategies that help biotech, medtech, healthcare technology and other life sciences companies navigate critical stages of development and growth. Drawing on their experience advising companies on venture financings, university technology licensing, corporate governance, and strategic transactions, Tyler and Gavin will discuss how to structure deals, anticipate investor and counterparty concerns, avoid costly missteps, and position companies for their next major milestone. Who Should Attend: Founders, CEOs, and executive teams of life sciences companies actively raising capital, commercializing technology, negotiating strategic relationships, or preparing for their next stage of growth. #SDSW26
