Foley & Lardner LLP | Today’s life sciences environment is experiencing a slow but steady rebound. Just as we’ve learned in research labs, building blocks from the survival gene to the social and protective genes, are the critical factors of adaptability and resilience, essential to a company’s survival.

Dynamic market changes demand new approaches to long and short-term financial strategies, fresh perspective on licensing and collaborations and risk management strategies to sustain both early and established life sciences companies.
