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.

Ryan Bickham

Tagged solicitor Ryan Bickham

Settlement Agreement. - What I thought may have been a confusing & challenging conversation regarding my settlement was anything but, Ryan Bickham guided me through the agreement pointed out in plain language the interpretation of each section. Made me aware of my rights what the Company were asking me to agree too. The whole experience was very stress free & completed in a very short period of time. My personal thanks to Ryan. & I will be using PCB Solicitors again.
