Commercial Contracts

A carefully built portfolio of trademark rights and other intellectual property (IP) is not always enough—a bad contract can undermine your entire strategy and harm your business.

• Many legal disputes arise from poorly drafted contracts.
• Major financial losses can be prevented by thinking ahead with the help of legal experts.
• In larger organizations, IP and contracts are often handled by different teams—and that’s exactly where things tend to go wrong.

Marketing is important, but Stobbs starts by building a strong brand identity and reputation. By first understanding what your brand stands for, the values it represents, who the target audience is, and what makes it unique, we provide better advice when brand owners enter into agreements with licensees, distributors, sponsored partners, and marketing agencies.

This ensures that every contract affecting your intellectual property contributes to a stronger brand.

The experts at Stobbs have worked as in-house counsel on some of the largest deals in the world. Combined with our daily client support, we’ve negotiated thousands of contracts. We know where the opportunities lie and where the risks hide. Choosing the right words and negotiating critical clauses sharply can make all the difference.
