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.

Isabella Giannone

Tagged solicitor Isabella Giannone

I am based in the UK and was being engaged by an Italian client as a supplier. The contract was governed by Italian law so I solicited advice from a UK-based avvocato to give advice. IMD offered a competitive price - in excess of 70% lower than other quotes - and Isabella gave me pragmatic, easy-to-understand advice on the contract. She was also able to meet me within a day of my original enquiry which was appreciated. Excellent service and very much recommended.
