IP Advisory

Whether you need some brief advice on a transaction or business arrangement, or you need a more detailed and bespoke longer term engagement, such as the development of an intellectual property asset management, commercialisation/licensing or IP protection strategy, Metis Partners can help. Our Advisory team works with larger corporates, SMEs and their professional advisors across a range of sectors delivering a variety of strategic, realistic and measurable IP-related commercial advice. We help clients identify the full breadth of their IP assets, beyond traditional registrable IP, and highlight areas of weakness and risk in their current IP management strategies. Once these IP assets are identified, and the risks are addressed, we show clients how to leverage these critical IP assets to develop dynamic strategies that can be used to create competitive barriers to entry, differentiating them from competitors and generating new revenue streams or maximising the valuation of the business prior to exit/fundraising.

Corporate Recovery

Metis Partners has built up a wealth of experience working with insolvency practitioners and distressed companies facing a number of diverse challenges in a range of insolvency scenarios. Our team is the UK’s only dedicated team focussing on valuing and selling IP assets from insolvent and distressed scenarios. We identify, catalogue, assess and sell a wide range of IP assets on behalf of corporate recovery specialists. In addition to this, we assist companies directly with the marketing and sale of IP assets. In any Corporate Recovery situation maximising the financial recovery for creditors and ensuring compliance with statutory obligations is vital. We help insolvency practitioners achieve both of these goals in dealing with IP assets. We specialise in assisting at a number of stages both pre and post insolvency, including supporting pre-pack negotiations and assisting with cases where there is a high level of buyer interest in an insolvent company’s IP assets.
