Drafting and negotiating such agreements requires a legal specialist because there are:
- Many different types of deals
- Involving detailed and complex (legal) arrangements, often in an international context
- Covering legal and business specific technical aspects, so one size doesn’t fit all
Our support
Deal structuring
In the earliest stages of any transaction, it is important to identify potential risks and opportunities that could affect your company’s commercial position or IP assets. If your transaction involves the development, exploitation or exchange of technology or IP, NLO can help you find the best possible deal, enabling you to make optimal use of opportunities whilst mitigating the risks.
Contract drafting
Our specialists enjoy writing, reviewing and negotiating contracts. Our aim is to produce clear contracts in plain language, which are legally sound but which also address all the commercial or technical aspects important for your company. We make contracts that work for your company.
Contract negotiations
A skillful negotiator with extensive experience in negotiating complex and high value IP and technology related contacts is vital in negotiations. Not only to steer you away from pitfalls but also to help you benefit from opportunities. Especially in negotiations with large corporations and multinationals, an NLO expert brings maturity and ‘balance’ to the negotiation table.
