Corporate & Commercial Advisory
We provide corporate legal advisory to businesses on structuring, compliance, and the commercial agreements that underpin business operations — with particular depth in IP-intensive industries.
Overview
Corporate advisory at CBhatt Law Office focuses on the legal needs of businesses at the intersection of IP and commerce — structuring IP ownership within corporate groups, advising on IP-related aspects of transactions, and supporting commercial contract negotiations.
We advise on the full range of commercial agreements relevant to IP-intensive businesses: IP licensing and assignment, technology transfer, distribution and franchise arrangements, research and development agreements, and employment and confidentiality arrangements that govern IP creation.
IP due diligence is increasingly critical in corporate transactions. When a business is acquired, invested in, or merged, the quality and enforceability of its IP assets directly affects valuation and risk. We conduct IP due diligence as part of M&A and investment transactions and advise on representations and warranties relating to IP.
