Intellectual property advice

Our IP teams offer a breadth of experience in IP transactional and advisory work, covering the full range of IP subjects, in both domestic and international contexts.

Examples of our work include:

• technology licences and joint ventures and other forms of technical cooperation and development
• brand licensing, sponsorship and franchising agreements
• copyright-based agreements across the creative industries with a particularly strong experience and focus on digital and online aspects
• analysis of IP portfolios and IP-related agreements in M&A and financing projects, inputting into transaction documents and preparing associated  agreements and recordals
• IP risk assessment on proposed new ventures and advice on risk minimisation
• advice on best practice use and protection of IP

Like our IP disputes lawyers, most of our transactional and advisory IP lawyers focus on specific sectors and bring both pure and applied legal knowledge to client projects.
