License agreements and other commercial contracts covering technology, products and services are ongoing, relationship contracts. An ability to get a deal completed in a manner that reflects fairly on both parties, and meets each parties’ objectives, is key to a successful, long-term relationship. Working with both buyers and sellers of technology, products and services over the years across industries has provided Rhona with a wealth of background on how to accomplish a fair deal and what terms a client is likely to be able to negotiate, given the particular industry and leverage of the parties. Rhona works closely with clients and their counterparts to understand their business objectives and to structure transactions that meet those goals. Rhona has deep experience in licensing intellectual property rights, as well as the operations side of commercial contracts, and how liability is typically structured. Rhona is a member of the firm’s Technology Commerce Practice Group (former Co-Chair) and currently serves on the firm’s Management Committee.
