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.

Laura Charlotte Kendall

Tagged solicitor Laura Charlotte Kendall

Two failed sales and a purchase that required two attempts would test anybody. Tozers dealt with it with patience an tenacity eventually getting over the line. In the final event a sale which went from offer to exchange in 3 weeks, inc a mortgage approval and a purchase that went from offer to exchange in a week speaks volumes.
