A Legal Umbrella for the Business, the Assets, and for You Personally
A person’s business activity and legal assets do not exist separately from their personal life.
An entrepreneur, a company owner, an inventor or an owner of intellectual property rights may invest years in building a business, creating assets and accumulating rights. Alongside protecting the business and the intellectual property, it is also important to examine the personal legal aspects that can affect those assets and the person behind them.
Therefore, alongside the core practice in patents and intellectual property, and alongside business and commercial support, assistance is also available on personal and family legal matters relating to rights, assets and their arrangement.
The goal is to create a broader legal umbrella, one that looks not only at the company or the asset, but also at the person, the family and the future.
1. Property and Innovation
Patents • Trademarks • Designs • Rights • Licensing • Commercialization
⬇
2. The Business
Companies • Contracts • Partners • Suppliers • Customers • Negotiation • Risk Management
⬇
3. The Person
Prenuptial Agreement • Will • Arrangement of Rights • Transfer of Assets • Protection of Personal Interests
And at the center:
One legal umbrella that looks at the person, the business and the assets as a whole.
Among other things, assistance is available on matters such as:
Prenuptial Agreements and Arrangement of Rights between Spouses
When there are businesses, shares, patents, intellectual property rights or significant assets, it is important to examine in advance how the rights will be arranged between the spouses and what their significance will be in the event of a change in the relationship.
Wills and Arrangement of Rights
Business assets and intellectual property may continue to have value even after the death of their owners. Proper planning of the will and arrangement of the rights can help create certainty regarding the assets, the business and the rights accumulated over the years.
Transfer of Rights and Assets
When there are assets, business rights or intellectual property, the manner in which they are held, transferred and arranged can be examined in accordance with personal and business needs.
Personal Legal Support for Business Owners and Entrepreneurs
In certain cases the business decision and the personal decision are linked to each other. The ownership structure, partnership, assets, rights and family relationships may affect one another, and therefore a broad perspective is required.
Collaboration with Attorneys in Complementary Fields
When handling is required in a legal field that is not at the core of the practice, attorneys with expertise in the relevant field can be brought in, working in collaboration as needed.
Not Only Protecting the Business, Protecting the Whole Picture
The approach is to look at the client not only as a company owner or an asset owner, but as a person with a whole set of rights, obligations, assets, and business and family relationships.
When a person builds a business, develops an invention or accumulates assets and rights, it is important to think not only about how to protect them today, but also about what will happen to them in the future.
Therefore, in appropriate cases, legal support can extend beyond intellectual property and commercial law, and also examine the personal aspects relating to rights and assets.
The Focus Remains Clear
Patents and intellectual property are a core area of the practice.
Around them, an umbrella of commercial law, contracts, companies, commercialization of innovation and business support can be built, and in appropriate cases, personal legal aspects relating to the client, their assets and their rights can also be addressed.
The goal is not to do “everything”, but to understand the broader picture, identify where legal protection is needed, and connect the client with the right professional when handling in an additional field is required.
Protecting your rights begins with understanding the whole picture.
