Drafting contracts

The correct protection, right from the start.

Schneiders & Behrendt provides consultation for drafting and implementing business contracts that aim to ensure protection of innovations and the appropriate designation of responsibility and liability.

The following all play a major role in our firm:

• Licensing agreements
• Supplier contracts
• Sales agreements
• Research and development (R&D) agreements
• Other contracts relating to intellectual property

Range of consultation:

Particularly when it comes to contracts relating to intellectual property, we are happy to advise you in detail about the evaluation of the legal validity of IP rights, determining license fees, and regarding questions relating to infringements of the contract by third parties, who, correctly or incorrectly, have claimed infringement of their IP rights.

Consultation expertise:

You are always able to draw on the expertise of our specialist lawyers and patent attorneys, engineers, physicists, and chemists; each is supported by the research department, which is also able to conduct research nationally or internationally, including in technical fields. Our consultations also cover issues regarding insurance policies for the parties to the contract, not least when it comes to product liability.

International consultation:

Schneiders & Behrendt drafts contracts in a variety of languages and draws on legally trained native speakers and a select network of expert translators where necessary. When it comes to the legal situation in other countries, we have contracts checked by local lawyers from our global network of contacts and adapted to local law where necessary.
