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.

Laurence Dunn

Tagged solicitor Laurence Dunn

I was needing help looking over an NDA as I'd never signed one before. Laurence was very helpful and professional throughout our time together and was brilliant at amending it to be more up-to-date and closing some potential loopholes. He was also very friendly which was nice and throughout the entire process, I never felt out of the loop or like I didn't know what was happening. Great communication, wonderful advice. Would highly recommend.

I was very impressed with Couchman Hanson Initially Amy Sullivan assessed my needs and quickly set up a "teams" call with Emily Yeardley Emily reviewed my settlement agreement and gave great advise on how to amend the document to prevent me facing a possible future tax liability Also her dealings with my company were excellent and this meant the document could be signed and completed very quickly I would thoroughly recommend Emily and Couchman Hanson to anyone Many thanks all
