Implementing Compliance Programs and Other Measures to Avoid FDA and State Law Violations and Minimize Tort Liability
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A
Conducted on Thursday, January 19, 2012
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will prepare counsel to pharmaceutical and medical device companies to develop a risk management program geared toward avoiding product liability. The panel will explore ways to leverage a company's risk management measures in defending product liability suits.
Description
Two essential concepts in risk management for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are compliance—avoiding violating laws and regulations—and prevention—identifying and mitigating potential risks. Counsel must incorporate these concepts into clients’ risk management plans.
While planning, designing and monitoring a product liability compliance program are crucial to effective risk management, adopting a compliance program alone does not fully protect from liability claims. Other risk management measures must be developed along with a compliance program to mitigate liability.
Counsel must also work with clients to develop training programs, review insurance coverage, screen contractors, manage contract liability, and work with the sales and marketing process.
Listen as our authoritative panel of products liability attorneys discusses how to create and implement a compliance program as well as other risk management measures in order to minimize products liability claims to pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
