Research & Development Agreement

If your business is working with collaborators to create new ideas and technology, you may need a Research & Development Agreement. It outlines the relationship with your collaboration partners, including the division of work, allocation of costs, and ownership of intellectual property.

Our fixed-fee packages for Research & Development Agreements start at $900 + GST. This includes a Research & Development Agreement drafted to meet your unique requirements, phone consults with our expert lawyers, and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide.

Submit an enquiry through this page or click the ‘get started’ button on our website. After you submit your enquiry, one of our legal consultants will review it within 1 business day and get in touch to better understand what you need.

Your legal consultant will then send you an email with more information about the services you need, along with a fixed-fee quote setting out the costs, scope of the service, and timing. If you're happy with the scope, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online.

Once you've formally accepted, we'll connect you with a specialist lawyer who will work with you to complete your project. They will contact you by email or phone if they need to get in touch.
