Service
With deep knowledge of the technology industry and extensive experience with the full range of developer, provider and user agreements, Pillsbury lawyers structure and negotiate game-changing technology transactions.
From forging an initial IP agreement among founders to the numerous confidentiality, IP ownership and licensing agreements a new company needs for every entity with which it interacts, Pillsbury’s business-savvy lawyers work with clients on technology and intellectual property-derived transactions as an avenue for generating revenue and increasing value. Our technology transactions lawyers have extensive experience in structuring and negotiating strategic deals that are fundamental to the architecture of newly established companies and ones that can be the basis of a company’s business model.
Pillsbury lawyers guide clients through transactions that represent an inflection point in growth and strategy, such as key partner agreements and ones to acquire or sell a business or to merger with another entity. We also regularly advise on and craft collaborative arrangements, product, service, technology and intellectual property/technology share deals, sourcing arrangements and customer agreements. Members of our team counsel clients on these and many other arrangements as well as structure and negotiate all related agreements. Our deep involvement with the venture capital community and potential acquirers provide us with valuable insight into contract provisions that enhance investment attraction.
