About us.

GLOBAL CONTRACTS 

To exist and thrive, all businesses must be involved with contracts. Therefore, managing contracts in an effective way is essential for success.

 

We will work together with your company during all phases of contract management, including the preliminary steps necessary for the drafting of a new contract, or the revision of an existing one, as required by your company. In addition, we will identify and manage possible risks, working closely with your team to identify opportunities and challenges, and offering advice on possible beneficial modifications to your contract before an agreement is reached.

 

We also participate in the contract negotiation process, and offer dedicated follow-up after signing; providing support on any issues that may arise after the agreement has been reached.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

IP management is an increasingly important area for any business seeking to innovate, particularly when they want to utilize third-party solutions in order to offer their products and services. It requires expert knowledge to successfully align your requirements for IP procurement or marketing with your core business strategies in order to excel in a global marketplace. 

 

Our services include the drafting, negotiation, and management of IP agreements, including licenses and technology transfers. We will help you to design strategies that protect your rights, in order to capitalize on your product, design, or intellectual innovation. We will also work on reviewing that any licenses you currently hold abide by the law, are up to date, and provide the expected value to your company’s strategy and requirements. As well, we will advise you in order to make sure that your company is in compliance with the licenses' terms and conditions.

 

We also help your company to formulate and customize its IP management strategy, policies, and guiding principles, in order to increase your decision making capabilities and improve your company’s economic value. This includes research and advice on the registerability, ownership, and validity of your IP rights globally, as well as the creation of guidelines for your employees to follow.
