How I can help
The work, defined clearly
Each mandate starts with the business objective and the decision that needs to be made. The legal work is then built around it.
Consortium agreements
Drafting, review and negotiation for coordinators or beneficiaries, including governance, responsibilities, liability, default and decision-making.
Background, results and access rights
Identification and structuring of background, ownership, joint ownership, access rights, protection, dissemination and exploitation.
Procurement and subcontracting
Strategy, documentation, contractual conditions, evaluation governance and readiness under the applicable project or institutional framework.
Exploitation and collaboration
Licences, technology transfer, commercialisation, R&D, university/company arrangements and agreements for funded results.
Change, recovery and conflict
Accessions, withdrawals, amendments, disputed deliverables, non-performance, exit, claims positioning and negotiated resolution.
Typical engagements
Practical ways to start
Partner protection review
Focused review of a beneficiary’s IP, governance and implementation position.
Coordinator agreement setup
Consortium architecture, drafting and multi-party negotiation through agreed rounds.
Project legal health check
A fixed review of grant implementation, procurement, governance and exploitation readiness.
How the mandate is scoped
A clear fee and a controlled perimeter
Fixed or phased project fee reflecting role, documents, partners and negotiation needs.
When another specialist joins
Senior coordination, without blurred responsibility
Partner review and coordinator drafting are different scopes. Patent prosecution, financial grant management, technical proposal evaluation, economic valuation, litigation and guarantees of funding or exploitation outcome require the relevant specialist or remain outside the mandate.
Technology may support research, comparison and document structuring. The legal position, sources and final recommendation are reviewed by the lawyer.
Discuss a matter
Start with the decision, deadline and documents you already have.
A short, non-confidential brief is enough to establish fit, conflicts, scope and the right next step.
