Licensing Agreements and Corporate Transactions

Our goal-driven team takes a forward-thinking, creative and proactive approach that emphasizes commercial sensibility, practicality and a holistic view of each client’s business. We evaluate U.S. IP rights, provide guidance in building and managing IP portfolios, craft tax-efficient deal structures, and create comprehensive licensing programs that drive business. We have extensive experience in structuring, negotiating and drafting patent, trademark and copyright license agreements; IP credit and security agreements; IP transfer agreements; manufacturing and distribution agreements; software and technology licensing agreements; and numerous other commercial agreements implicating intellectual property rights. Further, we collaborate with lawyers throughout our firm to advise on IP assets in the context of acquisitions, sales, mergers, investments, financings, collaborations and other corporate transactions, as well as provide guidance in bankruptcies, restructurings and litigation.

Through our extensive experience representing buyers, sellers, licensors and licensees, we’ve gained insight into the various parties’ positions, which enables us to strategize, resolve and structure deals that work for all the parties involved and enhance our clients’ market position.
