Description
Carve-outs are rarely simple straightforward transactions. Many challenges arise if a group of companies decides to divest or ‘carve-out’ a subsidiary or a part of its operations. This is even more true in the life science industry, where intellectual property (IP) rights play a pivotal role. The panel will discuss aspects relating to ownership and licensing of IP, IT, accounting and transitional services as well as how best to prepare for them.
