GAR Live: Life Sciences

April 30, 2026

Foley Hoag is proud to partner again with Global Arbitration Review for the first-ever GAR Live: Life Sciences, evolving from the former Technology Disputes event to reflect the growing complexity and importance of life sciences in international arbitration.

Daniel Schimmel will be speaking on a panel titled "From deal to dispute: arbitration in life sciences M&A".  Life sciences deals often involve complex earn-out structures, billion-dollar valuations, and cross-border considerations, making them fertile ground for disputes. The panel will bring together dealmakers, counsel, and arbitrators to explore how arbitration is shaping the resolution of M&A disputes in this sector. From drafting pitfalls to jurisdictional and procedural choices, to recurring substantive issues, we’ll examine what’s driving disputes and how parties can mitigate risk in high-stakes transactions.
