The Research Legal Services team is responsible for representing the University’s interests in relation to research contracts and associated transactions. The lawyers in this team undertake a wide range of legal work on behalf of the University that typically ranges from the preparation, review and negotiation of agreements to establish new research collaboration through to the provision of advice in relation to research collaborations that have been established in the past. Research Legal Services undertakes this work by liaising with the various stakeholders that are involved in the University’s research projects (including, in particular, researchers and the commercialization companies) and giving the University’s delegates advice to enable those delegates to bind the University to research-related transactions with confidence that the relevant legal issues have been considered.
