Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth's team of licensing professionals have taken companies public which began as research projects at leading universities. We routinely assist fast growing companies in complex licensing and partnership arrangements with larger companies or in the acquisition or sale of product lines or rights. We provide counsel which is guided by business principles in all aspects of the acquisition, development, and commercialization of intellectual property, technology, and products.

As one of the leading corporate securities law firms in California, we provide expert counsel in creative financing of new technologies. We specialize in advising on all types of technology transfer, including supply, OEM, distribution and license arrangements, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. Our life science practice group, often working with our intellectual property, securities, and tax attorneys, guides our clients through the complex process of structuring, negotiating, and documenting these transactions for the exploitation of their technology, both in the United States and worldwide. Using the same expertise, we advise our clients on the acquisition of technology from inventors, academic and research institutions, and commercial sources.
