Technology Transactions and Licensing

Intellectual property is often central to commercial transactions — through licensing, strategic partnerships, joint development arrangements, and mergers and acquisitions.


What we do

We help clients create value by monetizing their IP. Jones Walker advises clients on technology-driven transactions across industries. Our work includes negotiating and drafting:

  • Software development agreements and software licenses
  • SaaS and subscription agreements
  • Technology transfer agreements
  • Joint venture and joint development arrangements
  • Intellectual property components of broader commercial transactions

IP in mergers and acquisitions

In merger and acquisition contexts, we conduct intellectual property diligence, confirm ownership and chain of title, assess licensing obligations and restrictions, and help structure transactions to preserve and enhance IP value.

Coordinated, business-focused solutions

Because these transactions often involve overlapping legal considerations, our IP attorneys work closely with corporate, mergers and acquisitions, employment, and regulatory teams to deliver coordinated solutions that align legal protection with deal economics.

Talk to our technology transactions team

Contact the Jones Walker IP team to discuss a licensing, technology transfer, or mergers and acquisitions matter.
