Innovation, Collaboration, Research and Development

We have significant experience in advising clients on all stages of R&D projects including corporate structures, confidentiality agreements, licensing, intellectual property rights protection and exploitation and production and development agreements.

Recent examples of our work in this area include:

• assisting a scientific analytical company on the acquisition of laboratory facilities and advising and negotiating the terms of a manufacturing agreement for testing kits working to extremely tight deadlines;
• advising a PPE business on going to market, putting in place shareholder protection, and ensuring that intellectual property licences are in place;
• advising a product manufacturer on the terms of an undergraduate secondment agreement for an R&D project;
• advising an entrepreneurial company on the terms of a research and development agreement for the development of a prototype product to be commoditised;
• drafting terms and conditions for the collection, transportation and testing of soil samples for possible contaminants;
• assisting an environmental science company with the extension of its UKAS accreditation.

We also recognise that disputes can arise at various stages of an innovation project whether the dispute is between shareholders, relates to IP ownership, licensing terms or royalty payments or arises as part of the day to day operation of the project.  Our expert commercial litigation solicitors are able to provide sound strategic advice to assist you through such difficult times.
