With partnerships come legal agreements: Who is responsible? What tasks are assigned to specific partners? What are the communication protocols? How are we managing this 2-5 year project? These and many other questions must be discussed and agreed in a Collaboration and/or Grant Agreement.
We have partnered with the contracts team at Stephens Scown, one of the most experienced and capable contract legal teams in Europe. Their team has extensive experience with supporting lead partners in H2020 and Horizon Europe Collaborative R&D projects to negotiate and finalise Consortium Agreements and Grant Agreements. Both of these are required to start drawing down grant funding from the EU Commission. Furthermore, the team can support more broadly on Grant Agreements / Collaboration Agreements for a wide variety of UK and European grants and commercial projects.
