Commercial Contracts, Technology & IP
Structure the deal, the rights and the route to implementation.
For companies, startups and innovation teams buying, building, licensing, implementing or commercialising technology, brands, content and digital services.
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.
Contract review and negotiation
Customer- and supplier-side review, redlines, prioritised risk positions, fallbacks, negotiation strategy and support through signature.
IP position, ownership and exploitation
Legal evaluation of protection routes, ownership and chain of title, permitted use, assignments, licensing, technology transfer, R&D, open-source issues and commercialisation.
Trade marks and brand protection
EU trade mark filing and registration support, goods-and-services strategy, portfolio review, renewals and coordination of national or international routes where required.
Data, privacy and AI contracting
DPAs, data use and transfer provisions, AI clauses, confidentiality, vendor responsibility and the interaction between data, IP and the commercial deal.
Contract systems and change
Templates, clause libraries, playbooks, contract workflows, amendments, exit, claims positioning and recovery of difficult contractual projects.
Typical engagements
Practical ways to start
Focused contract review
A bounded agreement, redline and prioritised risk position. Selected matters from €950.
Technology deal desk
A material deal taken from documents and internal positions to a negotiable agreement.
IP & brand structuring
Rights, ownership, protection and exploitation organised around a product, collaboration or portfolio.
How the mandate is scoped
A clear fee and a controlled perimeter
Fixed fees for bounded reviews and trade mark filing work; phased pricing for drafting, negotiation, portfolio or implementation projects.
When another specialist joins
Senior coordination, without blurred responsibility
Patent prosecution, economic or technical valuation, full GDPR audits, outsourced DPO services, cybersecurity assurance and foreign-law opinions are handled with the appropriate patent, valuation, privacy, technical or local specialist. The practice can assess the legal and contractual IP position and coordinate that wider team.
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.
