Gibson Dunn and BCLT Host a Webcast Series on Royalty Finance, the UCC, and Issues of Recharacterization
Webcasts | May 12, 2025
Gibson Dunn has partnered with the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Technology on a three-part webcast series that discusses issues originally raised in a Law 360 article on royalty financing written by partners Todd Trattner and Ryan Murr.
In the series, partners Todd Trattner, Ryan Murr, Jin Hee Kim, and Jeffrey Krause and associates Kali Jelen, Anthony Hajj, and Michael Farag provide an in-depth exploration of royalty finance, 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 series is designed to educate biotechnology stakeholders (investors, entrepreneurs, companies, and their attorneys) on best practices for monetizing and investing in a synthetic royalty so that they can embark on such transactions with greater certainty.
