Contractual assistance

Our contractual assistance is designed for companies that protect or seek to protect and enhance their intellectual property assets.

We study and draft contracts to regulate various types of transactions such as: transfer or acquisition of assets, asset components or other intellectual property rights; licencing agreements; distribution agreements; technology transfer agreements; joint ventures; non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements; co-existence agreements.

In addition to drafting contracts ex novo, we also assess the intellectual property aspects of broader agreements to ensure their completeness and, if necessary, to incorporate the appropriate clauses. We also analyze existing contracts to provide legal opinions and recommend possible actions.

A contract is a key instrument for ensuring the best level of protection and enhancement of assets based on three essential features: completeness, customization and effectiveness.

With our meticulous approach to these elements, we ensure that what matters most is achieved: a contract that is truly enforceable and effective.

How we work

Every contract is built on cooperation and thus on listening to your requirements and gathering all the information needed to draft it.

What is fundamental in this phase is the preliminary study that also involves analyzing and understanding the assets involved: as a law firm specialized in IP, we have the skills, experience and multidisciplinary approach needed to craft comprehensive, customized and legally robust contracts.
