A spin-out isn't just a legal exercise. It's a deal involving researchers, the institution, investors and the management team, each with different interests and incentives. This practical session focuses on the corporate and contractual aspects of structuring a spin-out, from the initial due diligence and deal structure through to the shareholders' agreement, founder arrangements and investment documentation. We will look at the key legal and negotiation issues that can affect the transaction, how the interests of the different stakeholders interact, and how to anticipate potential deal blockers before they arise.
