Hutchison Law Group recognizes the vital role that universities play in
developing technologies that fuel entrepreneurship, innovation and economic
growth. We strive to help these organizations transform novel, innovative
technologies into commercially successful companies. We work with many of
the leading universities throughout the Southeast, and their constituent
faculty, technology transfer professionals, students and other potential
entrepreneurs, to consult on legal strategies for technology
commercialization, to negotiate licenses and research agreements, and to
launch new companies based on university-owned novel intellectual property.
