IP & Technology
Transactions

Our Intellectual Property & Technology Transactions team has seen every kind of transaction; we know how to help clients avoid pitfalls and identify and take advantage of opportunities to protect or exploit important intangible assets. We are at our best when intellectual property assets and deal structures are most complex, encompassing the full spectrum of trademark, copyright, name, image and likeness (NIL), patent, AI and other technology assets in connection with stand-alone IP transactions, large domestic and cross-border M&A, carve-outs, joint ventures, financings, restructurings and other transactions.

With key members of the practice located in New York, San Francisco and London, we provide counsel at every stage of the transaction, from negotiating a transition services agreement to assisting with post-acquisition integration. Along with this unusually broad deal experience, clients also continue to come to us for boutique service for purely intellectual property-related issues.

We are also market-leaders in technology-focused transactions, including in the technology aspects of domestic and international M&A, spinoffs and joint ventures, securities offerings and complex financings, technology acquisitions and licensing matters, emerging tech advisory work, patent and IP portfolio analysis, and dispute resolution.

Our team of dedicated technology transactions specialists are embedded in our M&A deal teams, advising at every stage of a transaction, from patent portfolio analysis, software audits and technology due diligence, to structuring carveouts and allocations of key technologies, to negotiating long and short-term technology development and services agreements post-closing. Our lawyers also leverage their extensive experience advising major corporations and investors on development, licensing and deployment of AI and machine-learning tools in the transactional context.
