If that were the case - that Unilife is somehow tainted - why would he jeopardise his reputation and career to take up the position?
Sorry, doesn't wash.
Setting aside John Ryan's depth of expertise in many areas, the key here, for the moment at least, is his expertise in "defending companies in high-stakes commercial litigation including...consumer class actions."
If their were even a hint of something wrong, he wouldn't have done the first interview, especially when you consider the high ethical and moral standards of Duane Morris.
From there it's simply a case of moving right along "as we continue to negotiate and sign long-term supply agreements with a multitude of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies."
There's more to this hire than is apparent at first glance.
Especially as Chris Naftzger, no slouch himself, chose to stay....I mean, why would you?
