Spin Offs 

Transform Research into Business: Support for Spin-Offs

Turning cutting-edge research into a successful business is a challenge faced by many spin-offs. We provide comprehensive legal and strategic support to navigate the complexities of intellectual property, technology transfer, and startup formation, ensuring you start your venture on the right foundation.

Our unique approach

Launching a spin-off from a research organization or corporate requires more than a great idea—it needs clear agreements, strategic planning, and a robust legal framework. Our expertise helps founders address the challenges unique to spin-offs, aligning the interests of all stakeholders while securing the freedom to operate and grow.

Here’s how we can support:

  • Technology Transfer and Licensing: We assist in negotiating technology transfer agreements and securing licenses that provide your startup with the IP rights it needs to succeed. Our focus is on ensuring commercially reasonable terms that attract investors and protect your freedom to operate.

  • IP Strategy Development: Together, we design a tailored IP strategy to maximize the value of research outputs while safeguarding your business from future disputes or claims.

  • Corporate Structuring: We guide you in setting up the optimal corporate structure, ensuring alignment with your goals, funding needs, and the requirements of your parent organization or research institution.

  • Stakeholder Alignment: Spin-offs often involve multiple stakeholders, from researchers to institutional partners. We facilitate transparent agreements on equity allocation, roles, and responsibilities to prevent future conflicts.

  • Investor Confidence: By ensuring the legal foundation is solid and all agreements are investor-friendly, we help you attract the funding needed to scale.

  • Regulatory Compliance: We provide guidance to ensure your spin-off complies with applicable laws, including data protection and research-specific regulations.

With our comprehensive approach, you’ll have the clarity and confidence to transform groundbreaking research into a thriving business. Let’s work together to turn innovation into impact.
