Managing Your Message and Positioning: Navigating Strategic and Disclosure Considerations in Product Development and Launch

Deciding when and how to share non-public information about key events in your company’s life cycle in general and in transactional settings—such as clinical trial results, regulatory meetings, and product launch—raises complex questions at the intersection of SEC, FDA and First Amendment law. Our panel will help you:

  • Understand expectations from key federal regulators, with insights from seasoned practitioners, including former FDA Chief Counsel
  • Track evolving First Amendment protections for truthful and non-misleading commercial and scientific speech
  • Explore real-world scenarios, including: preparing for data release from clinical trials, charting next steps and regulatory pathways, and evaluating public statements about comparative and competitive positioning, regulatory meetings, and feedback
  • Understand the perspectives of seasoned practitioners and in-house counsel about managing disclosures in transactional settings, IPOs, and M&A

Featured Panelists

Heather Turner, former Chief Legal Officer, Lyell Immunopharma, Inc.

Frank Rahmani, Partner, Global Life Sciences and Capital Markets
