Corporate Partnerships

Due Diligence and Establishing the Relationship:  As important as the fit and potential for success of a product development opportunity are the strengths of the development organization. LSP can assess a licensor’s resources, infrastructure and ability to execute development tasks; the compatibility and fit of potential corporate partners; and how well the partners together possess the required mix of resources and competencies. A licensor should evaluate potential licensees and contract manufacturers similarly. LSP can provide assessments of all aspects of the fit and suitability of a contemplated corporate partnership. LSP can also help structure, negotiate and conclude development agreements, as well as

• Initiate and develop relationships with potential licensors/licensees
