We recognise the growing interest in intellectual property as a business asset and the importance of clearly understanding how it adds value to a potential investment. 

Many start-ups have yet to put an IP management plan in place and the robustness of the underpinning IP portfolio is often very variable. 

We provide clear and definite opinions, both commercial and legal as to the status of the IP that underpins a potential investment.  Our opinions can take the form of informal and brief headline summary of the key issues right the way through to a formal legal opinion.  We don’t just look at the intellectual property, we also consider the wider intellectual capital contained in the people, the market attractiveness and competitive differentiation.

We also provide valuations and evaluations of IP as required to underpin the deal and to provide you with additional reassurance on the potential returns on your investment.
