We help our clients skillfully navigate the intricate issues that arise in negotiating commercial contracts and collaboration agreements involving the development, acquisition, use and commercialization of technology, data, and intellectual property in the global marketplace.

We advise on the full spectrum of commercial contracts, from sale of goods or services agreements to complex, high value, strategically important alliances, collaborations, consortium, and joint venture arrangements. We provide practical, industry-savvy guidance to help clients negotiate and agree to commercial contracts that are robust, pragmatic, and achieve business objectives by designing, documenting, and negotiating deals that meet client objectives while mitigating risk. Our deep experience advising on matters involving high-value IP and data assets, and related regulatory issues, helps us craft robust commercial contracts that are compliant with critical regulations that govern these specialist areas.

Our team brings particular experience in helping to facilitate unique, “never-been-done” commercial transactions. We identify obstacles early in a commercial transaction and provide pragmatic, and often innovative, solutions before issues arise.
