Pepper
Hamilton has been a long
time sponsor of Early Stage East and when
recently asked, “Why
does Pepper Hamilton LLP support Early Stage
East and Bio Life Tech?” Jeff Libson,
the Chair of Pepper’s life sciences
practice said, “Because ESE has been
instrumental in supporting,
showcasing and championing early stage companies
since 1998.
Libson, who
co-chaired the first BLT conference
in 2003, added “These
companies are the future of the life
sciences industry in our region, and
it’s exciting to help them reach
their full potential. In
addition, both BLT and ESE have helped
bring more venture capital and venture
investors to the region, which in
turn, supports these companies and
our economy.”
Since the
inception of ESE and
BLT, Pepper has been involved
in sponsoring and planning their conferences.
In addition to Mr. Libson’s
involvement with BLT, Richard P. Eckman,
a partner in the firm’s Wilmington
office, is a long-time member
of ESE’s
board of directors. This
year, Pepper is once again
taking a leadership role
by being a VIP segment sponsor. More
