Research and development agreements cover collaborative projects where parties share resources, knowledge or IP to create new products or processes. A solicitor advising in England helps draft and negotiate the contract, including scopes of work, ownership of foreground and background IP, contributions, funding, milestones, and risk allocation. They review confidentiality, liability limits, and termination rights, and assist with IP assignment, licences and exit arrangements. The work often hinges on project governance, novelty challenges, and robust dispute resolution mechanisms.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor clarifies who owns newly created IP and who funds what, sets milestones and fallback positions, and structures licences or assignments to protect commercial value while limiting liability. They also secure clear governance, reporting lines, and exit provisions to handle partner changes and project dissolution without eroding core IP rights.

Mike Elliott

Tagged solicitor Mike Elliott

I used Mike Elliott for a dispute I had with a contractor. The service was excellent. Mike was really good at both marshalling the arguments for my case and taking the emotion out of it so that we put a clear and logical position to the other side. They quickly settled without me needing to commence full legal proceedings. I would fully recommend to anyone in a similar position to use Mike.

Laura Franklin

Tagged solicitor Laura Franklin

I emailed Laura and she got back to me really quickly with expected costs and timeframe. I booked an appointment and I have to say Laura was amazing explaining my agreement in detail and the reasons for the amendments she was making. I had 100% confidence that Laura was going to do her best for me. Laura made the whole process quick and relatively painless. Thank you Laura.
