Preemption Conference in Philadelphia June 3, 2009

By James M. Beck and Mark Herrmann

Hear the perspectives from both sides. One of your co-hosts - Bexis (Herrmann couldn't make it) - leads off a day-long Harris-Martin conference on "Preemption in a Post-Levine World" at the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia on June 3, 2009. He's paired against Sol Weiss (Anapol Schwartz) discussing the topic "Did the Court Get It Right?"

Will it be sour grapes or fine whine? Come and find out.

Sol takes on Covington's Paul Schmidt later in the day (topic: "How Does This Affect the Pharmaceutical Industry?").

Other participating firms in addition to Dechert (Joe Hetrick's the conference co-chair): Reed Smith, Arnold & Porter, King & Spalding, and Pepper Hamilton for our side and Cohen, Placitella, Raynes McCarty, and Seeger Weiss representing the other side of the "v".

For a complete list of the pairings and the topics see the conference brochure.
