Technology Procurement, Development and Licensing
Technology touches nearly all aspects of business and has become
crucial to its success. As technology has become more sophisticated
and critical to business, so have business arrangements regarding
its procurement, development, licensing and distribution. Our
clients look to us to provide professional and pragmatic support on
structuring such arrangements and protecting their
interests. We understand that technology transactions cannot
be considered in isolation, but rather need to be addressed in the
full technical, business and commercial contexts in which the
technology will be used. We have vast experience in structuring and
negotiating the solution best suited to meet the needs of our
clients in each such context.
Our team has years of experience in virtually all sectors of
industry and across the entire spectrum of technology transactions
affecting products, services, intellectual property rights and
collaborative efforts. We provide value-added services using
our professionals’ detailed understanding of best practices in a
particular industry sector. We are thought leaders for
technology deals, creating value for our clients by developing and
continually improving precedents and methodologies that reflect
best practices.
With our experience and extensive global footprint, we know the
negotiating styles and positions of a broad array of global and
regional technology product vendors and technology service
providers. We are efficient and effective because we
understand what is and what is not attainable in the marketplace at
all levels of the supply chain.
