Joint Ventures, Strategic Alliances, Collaborations & Licensing

Successful joint ventures and strategic alliances drive innovation and allow corporate partners to benefit from each other’s strengths. To help our clients make the most of these partnerships, we help negotiate agreements and transactions that allow them to achieve maximum leverage from their intellectual property and other resources.

Representing clients of all sizes, we negotiate agreements and participate in licensing and other intellectual property and technology-based transactions across a wide range of industries, including:

With our assistance, our clients have negotiated arrangements that have resulted in new drug development, increased manufacturing and distribution of early-stage products, the acquisition of physical resources for expansion, and the creation of residential, office, and health care properties.

Focused on Your Goals

We work closely with our clients to structure and implement transactions that build upon their particular strengths and fill the gaps where there may be weaknesses. For clients with limited resources, we negotiate with larger corporate partners who bring financing, product development, manufacturing and regulatory expertise, and market strength to the table. For clients who have these resources and are looking for the opportunity to leverage the intellectual property owned by smaller companies, the depth of Mintz Levin's involvement in emerging growth industries means that we can often make introductions to potential partners.

Action on Any Transaction

Mintz Levin has a multidisciplinary practice group of attorneys and technology consulting professionals who have significant experience handling licensing, procurement, outsourcing, sales, auctions, and technology transfer transactions that involve computers, software, networks, telecommunications equipment, and other intellectual property such as trademarks, patents, and professional services.

Our team’s multidisciplinary strengths—including in-depth knowledge in areas such as business, communications, employment, finance, immigration, real estate, technology law, and intellectual property—allow us to provide exceptional business-focused legal advice in relation to complicated transactions involving these and many other concerns.
