« What do I have to do to formalise in writing an agreement between a third party and myself? »

Our experts help you by putting in place a contractual strategy, by negotiating and drafting agreements, and by measuring your intangible assets.

At the outset, we protect your projects in particular vis-à-vis your future partners, service providers and suppliers (by way of confidentiality agreements aimed at preserving your trade secrets, artistic work or technical innovations). We advise you on potential property right transactions (due diligence, audits).

We assist you in the pre-contractual phase (initiating contact, preliminary discussions, negotiations) and in the contractual phase (drafting of assignment, transfer, licensing or coexistence-of-rights contracts, technology transfer agreements, in particular in the context of joint ventures and partnership or consortium agreements) in order to protect your know-how.

We are also able to assist with the valuation of intellectual property rights.
