Contracts & Commercial Transactions
Every quantum relationship — research, commercial or governmental — eventually needs a contract precise enough to survive a technology that is still evolving under it.
Research Collaboration Agreements
Balancing academic publication norms against commercial confidentiality, with clear terms for background and foreground IP.
Technology-Transfer Agreements
Structuring the transfer of quantum know-how and IP between universities, national labs and commercial partners.
Software Licensing Agreements
Drafting licences for quantum SDKs, compilers and simulation software, including usage restrictions relevant to export classification.
Cloud-Service Agreements
Negotiating quantum-computing-as-a-service and cloud-access agreements, covering data residency, uptime expectations and liability allocation for a still-maturing technology.
Data-Sharing Agreements
Structuring data-sharing arrangements for joint research and commercial analytics, calibrated to the sensitivity of the underlying data.
Confidentiality Agreements
Drafting NDAs precise enough to protect genuinely sensitive quantum IP without chilling the collaborative research culture the field depends on.
Strategic Partnership Agreements
Structuring long-term partnerships between quantum technology providers and enterprise or government customers, including exclusivity and roadmap-alignment terms.
Government Procurement Contracts
Advising vendors and government bodies on procurement documentation for quantum computing, communication and sensing infrastructure.
Vendor Agreements
Negotiating vendor and supply-chain agreements for the specialised hardware components quantum systems depend on, with attention to export control and continuity risk.
