Life Sciences Product Liability, Policy & Dispute Resolution Europe builds on that foundation, bringing the same discussion-driven, peer-level format to Brussels. This essential forum delivers a rare, defense-first lens on emerging EU liability, evidence, and cross-border risks – equipping in-house teams and external counsel with the strategies they need as Europe enters a more aggressive enforcement and collective-action era.
The program covers EU product liability, class action, and mass-harm trends post-PLD, safety/vigilance & recalls, labeling and promotion disputes, and coordination across member state procedures – giving attendees a comprehensive view of the most urgent litigation pressures facing life sciences companies today.
