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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Anthony Willis
I came to Anthony at the 11th hour before Christmas with an urgent request for assistance. He was able to efficiently facilitate and was clear and concise about all the issues concerning the agreement. Would definitely recommend and use again if needed.
