My vote is definitely a 10/10: the webinar dealt with all the topics (and more..) I wanted to explore, as I work with it every day. I liked a lot also all the PPT presentations. All speakers were excellent, and the way of explaining very clear and prepared. I found the topics very engaging.

Margherita Aina, Legal Specialist, NTC S.r.l.

I was hoping to have a detailed analysis of all the aspects a legal who works in a pharmaceutical company may encounter and how to deal with it. I must say the webinar was very beyond my expectations and I definitely accomplished my goal (and more!). I am in the pharmaceutical industry just from 2022, and this two days helped me a lot.

Margherita Aina, Legal Specialist, NTC S.r.l.

I was hoping to have a better understanding of how contracts are formed in their entirety, the meaning of key clauses, how they are exercised and their potential consequences. I now feel much more equipped to make more informed decisions and more confident when it comes to contract negotiation with clients.

Chloe Remy, Business Development Lead, London Marathon Events Ltd

Great course and great webinar as a whole. The course was well structured and the [speaker] a great teacher, very personable with a great sense of humour. He made, what could be a dry subject for some, very interactive and digestible, definitely made the course extra enjoyable. Content 5/5, Presentation 5/5, Speaker 5/5.

Chloe Remy, Business Development Lead, London Marathon Events Ltd

Couldn't be better. I was hoping to gain a solid foundational understanding to help me when drafting or reviewing agreements. Not only did the webinar deliver on this, but my expectations were exceeded multiple times—the content and explanations went far beyond what I anticipated. I particularly appreciated the multiple practical pieces of advice and real-life examples that were shared, as well as the overall value of the information received. On a scale 1-5, I would rate 10 if I could.

Filip Isailović, Regional Legal Counsel for Serbia, OCSiAl Europe s.a.r.l.

Excellent. Very knowledgeable, very fluent speaker and managed the course, exercises and attendees very well.

Daniel Kerbes, Contracts Manager, HSO Enterprise Solutions Limited

A good concentrated overview of the topic of drafting pharma contracts which is normal for a 2 day course in the subject. I enjoyed the overall experience.

Larissa Toribio-Monnay, Manager Paralegal & Contract Management , Fresenius Kabi SwissBioSim GmbH

Overall content was good, touched upon all the key items. Speaker was Knowledgeable and experienced and gave real life examples.

Qaiser Shaukat, Associate Director - IT Security, Ooredoo Group

Excellent training material and lots of things to learn; definitely will help me in my upcoming IT Sourcing cases.

Muhammad Farhan-Ghauri, Associate Director - IT Hardware, Ooredoo Group

Very interesting.. I was hopping to be more comfortable with IT commercial contracts terms and I believe this was achieved.
