International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution

The International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR) is an independent, global non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention and resolution of complex commercial disputes. While not a biotechnology company, CPR is a vital resource for the life sciences and healthcare industries, providing specialized alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, including mediation and arbitration. The organization hosts a dedicated Healthcare and Life Sciences Committee that develops industry-specific rules and best practices for managing conflicts related to intellectual property, licensing, and regulatory matters. CPR is well-known for its 'CPR Pledge,' a commitment by hundreds of global corporations and law firms to explore ADR before pursuing litigation. Through its subsidiary, CPR Dispute Resolution Services, it maintains a 'Panel of Distinguished Neutrals' with deep expertise in healthcare and life sciences.
