Commercial Contracts and IP Licensing | Fieldfisher

Why choose our IP Licensing lawyers?

We understand how valuable IP is to a business and how important it is when reorganising a corporate structure to ensure that IP is ring-fenced and held in a tax-efficient manner. We assist clients in identifying and executing opportunities to commercialise their IP, through licensing arrangements, extending the brand into new products and services, commercial joint ventures and collaborations.

Whether a business is looking to divest itself of, acquire, create or restructure the way in which it holds an IP asset, our experience across a wide range of sectors means we are in an ideal position to structure and negotiate solutions that meet our clients' needs and achieve the best outcomes.

When it comes to commercialising IP, our team help clients minimise the risks and maximise the rewards in ventures such as licensing, merchandising, strategic alliances, R&D and commercial joint ventures. We are acutely aware of the ways to optimise these commercial relationships and the pitfalls to avoid with third parties. Because our team is truly international, we can apply these skills and knowledge to cross border and often highly complex deals.
