How can GJE help you?
Before you make a decision to invest, we’ll help you evaluate the IP that your target company has in place and whether it’s robust enough to deliver you a return on investment. The type of evaluation we carry out will very much depend on the business you are investing in – whether it’s technology, brand, or design-led, or a mixture of all three.
Typically, investors will want to understand whether a company’s IP is fit for purpose. By this we mean whether it covers the right products and services, is valid, and whether ownership issues are clear. If the company comes up short, then it could undermine your investment or affect the valuation of the company.
How we work together
We’ll work closely with you as an investor to uncover IP issues that could have a bearing on the valuation of your target company. We understand that IP may be one factor among several being considered in the due diligence process and are used to working alongside solicitors and accountants who are supporting your wider investigations.
Even if the issues involved in the project are complex, we keep our communications clear and succinct, so everyone understands the key information they need to make the right decisions. We also know that information is time-sensitive, so we work efficiently to meet your deadlines, without cutting corners.
