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 solicitor Matthew Clark

We used BTMK to remortgage one of the properties we own in our business. Being a solicitor myself, I know what I expect in terms of service from a law firm and BTMK met and surpassed those expectations. Their pricing is incredibly competitive and their communication was prompt and friendly. We were dealing with tight deadlines and a few hurdles which didn’t phase the team, with them offering proactive solutions. A big thank you to Hazel, Matthew, Irfan and Tobias. Would definitely use again and recommend BTMK.

Tagged solicitor Richard Clapham

I selected Downs Law to manage the sale of my company. It was clear from the initial consultation that Downs law has a very competent team of experts. Richard and his colleagues were excellent every step of the way - providing clear advice, being readily available when questions arose, and being extremely diligent in their duties. Couldn't ask for more.
