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.

I was referred to Sterling Lawyers and one of their team- Michael Latsukha- helped in the drafting of a new Client contract. It was fairly complex, nevertheless Michael produced a very high quality document, which was duly signed by the client. I was very satisfied with their work.

Hi - I was supported with my agreement by Tom Moyes who provided excellent advice and service at a difficult time. I found Tom was easy to get hold of and went above and beyond when the situation became more complicated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tom, from Blacks.

Tagged solicitor Jessica Piper

Very impressed with Ashtons; having been recommended by an ex colleague, I contacted Ashtons to advise and support my contract negotiations with my employer. My experience could not have been bettered; did exactly what they said they would, when they would and their advice resulted in agreement being reached quickly and painlessly.

Dear Julie, I was made redundant in July and was advised by my company to speak with a solicitor about my redundancy settlement. Not only was I upset and worried about the situation, but also very scared and nervous about contacting a solicitor as this was all new to me. I contacted Kingsfords and spoke firstly to Jacqueline Chappell, who was very helpful and gave clear instructions on what I needed to send to her. Jacqueline immediately made me feel much better and told me that it would be Leigh Prebble-Benn who I would have my telephone appointment with. When I first read through my settlement agreement I didn't really understand what it all meant and so when Leigh took the time to read through it line by line to explain things in simpler terms, it wasn't so overwhelming. Leigh also gave clear instructions on what I needed to do next and everything was all done quickly. It was also very lovely to know that I could contact Leigh if I had any other concerns. Their professionalism and kindness is outstanding and I wanted to thank them both as I am truly grateful. Best wishes and kind regards

As I was being made redundant, I contacted Gepp with regard to my settlement agreement. Nadia & Karen were prompt in getting back to me and were more than happy to help. They explained the process clearly as I hadn't gone through it before and arranged everything promptly. Everything was done virtually and Nadia went through the agreement on a Teams call. The matter was resolved very quickly and I would definitely use Gepp again.
