Joint Development and Research Partnerships

Guilmot & Bassine has specialized in structuring all joint-venture arrangements, whether contractual or by setting-up jointly-owned newcos, developing new products by relying on the respective expertise of the partners or entering new geographical markets. We put a special price on ensuring an adequate level of protection of the existing and developing know-how of the partners based on well-established practice.

We experience daily that effectively advising our clients on IP requires a set of legal skills that not only encompass the relevant provisions of IP laws but also a wide range of commercial law matters including contracts, competition, insolvency, tax, employment, data protection and the practice of the relevant sector of industry.

We have always paid special attention to founders, entrepreneurs and start-ups and pride ourselves on having helped some of them achieve success in the field of Life Sciences and IT, just to mention some of the subjects to which we have a strong attachment.

We know how much our clients need to discuss with lawyers who have an in-depth specialization in the sector and are able to discuss complex scientific information to guide, advise and debate about the best way to protect and exploit their intellectual assets.
