Collaborative Research Agreement

Our Collaborative Research Agreement package is designed to provide a tailored contract for your research collaboration. It includes:

• A Collaborative Research Agreement drafted in line with your instructions and project requirements
• Up to 60 minutes of phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer to discuss your objectives, address legal considerations and answer your questions
• One complimentary amendment to the final draft, provided you request it within 10 business days of delivery

This package helps make sure your collaboration has clear terms around responsibilities, resource sharing and intellectual property management.

Yes. A Collaborative Research Agreement can be drafted to cover international research collaborations.

Where parties are based in different countries, it is important for the agreement to address key cross-border issues such as governing law, jurisdiction, intellectual property rights in multiple regions, export controls, data protection laws and funding arrangements.

A well-drafted agreement helps ensure that all parties, wherever they are based, are clear on their responsibilities and legal obligations throughout the collaboration.

Working with us is simple. Start by submitting an enquiry through our website using the form at the top of this page or on our Get Started page.

A legal project manager will review your enquiry within 1 business day and get in touch to understand your needs. They’ll then send you a fixed-fee quote setting out the costs, scope and timing. If you’re happy to proceed, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online.

Once that’s done, we’ll connect you with an expert lawyer who will complete your project by email, phone or video chat, usually within 5 business days.
