28th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Spring Symposium: AI Governance at the Crossroads

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT

Initiatives to regulate artificial intelligence are being developed and implemented at the state, local, national, regional, and international levels. This symposium began with a half-day tutorial on Thursday, February 27 for those not yet acquainted with major initiatives such as the California legislature’s SB 1047 (the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act), which Governor Newsom vetoed; the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, & Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence; the European Union’s AI Act; and technical governance measures. On Friday, February 28, a full day of speakers presented a range of perspectives on these initiatives and others, considering various types of governance tools (such as procurement policies and disclosure requirements) that regulators may deploy, and offering assessments of which are more and less likely to be effective in promoting artificial intelligence systems for the public good and ensuring safe and trustworthy development of such systems. Speakers also explored private ordering initiatives and the role of standards in achieving these important goals. This symposium is funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation

Royalty Finance, the UCC and Issues of Recharacterization

$345.00
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT & Gibson Dunn

Presented by BCLT Life Sciences Law & Policy Center? In the context of chaotic capital markets over the last five years (the XBI has dropped 48% from January 2021 to March 2025 and an 80% drop in Biotech IPO issuances from 2021 to the end of 2024), where biotech companies must continue to raise capital, synthetic royalty finance transactions have emerged as an attractive financing structure that is nondilutive, uncorrelated with the markets, and a relatively low cost of capital.  The market saw steady growth in the aggregate deal value of synthetic royalty finance transactions over the last five years, with an average annual growth rate of 33% over the period.  With the increase in the number of synthetic royalty finance transactions structured as true sales, questions have arisen throughout the industry as to what exactly is being sold and what are the risks and advantages of acquiring a synthetic royalty. In this three-part virtual series, BCLT & Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher have partnered issues originally raised in a Law 360 article written by Gibson Dunn attorneys, Todd Trattner and Ryan Murr, entitled How Biotech Cos. Can Utilize Synthetic Royalty Financing. Gibson Dunn attorneys explore, in depth, royalty finance, looking at synthetic royalties, the treatment of synthetics under the UCC, and the risks of a sale of a synthetic royalty being recharacterized as a loan in bankruptcy.  The aim of this virtual speaker series is to educate biotechnology stake holders (investors, entrepreneurs, companies, and their attorneys) on best practices for monetizing and investing in a synthetic royalty so that they may embark on such transactions with greater certainty. For anyone with an interest in how modern biotechnology companies raise capital, this series will help you optimize your rights and reduce your risks. Don’t miss it!
