Goodwin and KPMG will host their 6th Annual Symposium on January 15, 2025, during the 43rd Annual JP Morgan Healthcare Conference.
Life sciences companies have many opportunities to thrive in the face of changing tides. At this year's symposium, we will delve into strategies that enable them to enhance research and development; optimize value from licensing, M&A, and other transactions; and secure capital for growth. By embracing these opportunities, Life sciences companies cannot only avoid getting caught in a riptide but chart new paths to success.
