For the first time ever, DRI's Drug and Medical Device seminar, taking place Thursday, November 5 and Friday, November 6, 2020, will be virtual! This virtual seminar, "20/20 Insights for the Defense of Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Litigation," will deliver the same high-quality presentations you're accustomed to seeing in person, providing you the opportunity to earn up to 4.25 CLE hours, and will include a variety of networking opportunities. You will hear from a panel of in-house pharmaceutical and medical device counsel about their companies' responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Sought-after speaker Abam Mambo-Doh will discuss the importance of diverse perspectives, and you won’t want to miss presentations about data analytics, key cases from the U.S. Supreme Court, genetics and genomics, and potential changes to MDL and mass-torts practice. This seminar, whether in-person or online, continues to be the “go-to” event year after year for in-house and outside counsel to the pharmaceutical and medical device industry.
