Intellectual Property

We know intellectual property (IP) can be a business’s most valuable asset. We help our clients successfully navigate the potentially daunting landscape of government regulations and filing requirements. Our team has far reaching experience in a variety of IP related transactions, including the acquisition and sale of IP; the structuring of licenses and royalties, and the distribution and franchising of IP rights in addition to other arrangements defining and allocating these rights.
