A spin-out in England covers creating a new company to commercialise ideas or assets held by an existing business, often built around university or research-derived technology. A solicitor helps structure the split, draft the transfer of IP and know‑how, and set up the new entity, its shareholding, and governance. They draft and negotiate IP assignment or licensing, employment agreements and TUPE transfers, and any funding or investor documents, ensuring regulatory and tax implications are managed. The work is shaped by corporate and IP rules, trustee or founder protections, and the needs of potential funders and customers.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A spin-out involves complex structures around IP transfer, stake allocation, and milestone-based funding. The solicitor details the IP assignment, transfer of staff, and option or share schemes, and coordinates with corporate filings, due diligence, and investor rounds. They ensure the new entity is properly regulated, with clear rights and protections for founders, investors, and the parent business.

Tagged solicitors Amy Laver and James Orpin

We were recommended by our accountant and from the first call we felt in safe hands. The legal documents we needed for a company sale were complex but the team there handled them well. Questions were answered quickly and when we felt out of our depth understanding legal jargon we got straight talking, easy to understand explanations. I'd use the firm again and would recommend to anyone who values good advice and a professional service to give them a call and ask for either James or Amy.
