Transactions

By getting to know our clients, we ensure we understand in detail the commercial requirements driving their IP strategy.

This enables us to support IP-rich projects such as development, licensing, joint ventures, commercial agreements, acquisition, manufacturing and other outsourcing arrangements. We advise in connection with a wide range of commercial agreements including NDAs, JDAs, assignments and licences.

Our due diligence protocols ensure timely and accurate assessments of IP positions including infringement risk, jurisdictional coverage of IP, ownership and status and, when required, validity.

We are recognised by legal and financial practitioners in the UK and overseas as a strong and experienced partner for conducting due diligence and other corporate support projects.
