Understanding the flexibility of a prospective partner’s negiotated deals terms provides critical insight into the negotiation process in termsof what you can expect to achieve during the negotiation of terms. Whilst many smaller companies will be seeking details of the payments clauses, the devil is in the detail in terms of how payments are triggered - contract documents provide this insight where press releases and databases do not.

This report contains over 1,200 links to online copies of actual contract documents as submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission by bigpharma and their partners.

Contract documents provide the answers to numerous questions about a prospective partner’s flexibility on a wide range of important issues, many of which will have a significant impact on each party’s ability to derive value from the deal.
