Top 10 of 1,413 law firms for Research and Development Agreements, Contract Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Wow Greg... How do you do what you do! You have opened my eyes to many areas of a contract and I have learnt so much from just this experience. What I loved was that your focus wasn't just me as your client but also ensure fairness with the opposite party. You understood what was important for me and the business, whilst offering really valuable advice and explanation. I felt I was in safe hands all the way! I would not hesitate to come to you and Hollingsworth Solicitors in the future for all my contractual needs! Thank you for your guidance.

Sanjay Rall provided an excellent service from start to finish and dealt with everything in such a friendly and professional manner. He understood that I had a tight deadline to sign my Settlement Agreement and expedited the matter to suit my circumstances. He was very knowledgable and broke down each clause in a clear digestible way. Class service, highly recommend.
