The involvement of expert lawyers is key in every corporate collaboration. While there are many law firms around the world, it is important to choose one that has the rather specialised expertise necessary for structuring collaborations. Unless all the scenarios are covered before the deal is structured and before the legal agreement is signed, a collaboration that is not properly structured may cost one of the parties millions, and in many cases tens and hundreds of millions, depending on the deal value, in addition to delays and aggrevation. It is advisable to involve the appropriate legal expertise early on in each collaboration and allow the follow-through all the way to the finalisation of the deal.

There are a few law firms that have particularly strong capabilities in the field of licensing / collaborations and also in the pharma and biotech sector in general.
