Our attorneys invest the time to understand each client’s business model, operational practices and strategic objectives. We partner closely with clients to protect their assets and help them maximize value from their technology investments.
We assist with intellectual property monetization strategies, technology acquisitions and divestitures, strategic research and development relationships, and procurement of information technology-related services. Our experience includes advising on sponsored research agreements with leading universities and joint development initiatives involving advanced technologies across industries.
Technology-Driven M&A and Collaboration
By aligning legal strategy with business goals, we add value to technology transactions by identifying negotiation leverage, structuring term sheets, anticipating closing challenges and recommending practical solutions.
