Intellectual Property and Commercial Transactions
The lawyers in our Intellectual Property and Commercial Transactions practice build long term relationships with our clients through an intimate understanding of their business and industry needs. This enables us to provide quality service at greater efficiency, because we work with our clients to prioritize their business strategies around intellectual property and technology, and we help devise practical solutions to accomplish their goals.
Sidley’s Intellectual Property and Commercial Transactions practice lawyers combine extensive industry experience in intellectual property and commercial matters with interdisciplinary legal and academic backgrounds to structure, draft and negotiate a wide variety of transactions involving technology, related intellectual property rights and complex commercial matters. Many of our lawyers hold advanced degrees in science, or spent significant time during their formative years practicing in legal disciplines such as M&A, finance, private equity, venture capital and intellectual property litigation. Moreover, several of our lawyers worked in technology industries prior to their legal career. This makes us particularly able to see the “big picture,” to understand the potential issues that may arise outside the core technology or commercial issues and to work with our colleagues in other areas such as
FDA Regulatory and Enforcement,
Healthcare,
M&A and Private Equity,
Structured Finance and Securitization and
International Trade/Arbitration to provide seamless service to our clients, whether our work is the focus of the engagement or we are playing a supporting role.
