Spin-outs
Spin-outs are challenging but with the right team and the right structure there are fantastic opportunities to be won.
We have experience of working with universities and other host organisations, academics and management to identify spin-out opportunities, develop structures in order to exploit those opportunities and take them to market.
We have excellent relationships with entrepreneurs, business angels, institutional investors and other financial institutions. This lets us advise not only on the legal issues surrounding spin-outs, but also on strategies to build the right professional and management team for the future.
Here’s how we can help
We work hand-in-hand with our intellectual property & technology team to help us face the challenges unique to spin-outs such as:
- Exploiting new ideas
- Managing new business
- Attracting investment capital
We work with management and academics to identify the nature of the intellectual property and deliver the required elements of the intellectual property to the spin-out.
We will advise on what is needed in order to make sure that the management team or academics are able to commit the time needed to the venture, without cutting across their existing employment or other relationships.
We also have the expertise to advise on the full range of consultancy and support agreements spin-out companies may seek with other business partners and sectors.
For further information please contact Peter Robinson, call 0191 211 7937 or alternatively email us at advice@muckle-llp.com
