Provision of Legal Advice and Services for Falmouth University

Falmouth University wishes to engage the services of a consultant firm to provide legal advice and services for the Launchpad programme. This will be in several parts:

1. Review and amendment of the student contract to align with the programme outputs and objectives. 2. Development of a Memorandum of Understanding template between the Launchpad programme and Launchpad Industry Partners with advice on any bespoke arrangements. 3. Management of the incorporation of Launchpad graduate companies and the establishment of investment and shareholder agreements and transferal/development of IPR. 2. Summary of Project Launchpad is a graduate incubation and acceleration programme designed to build new high growth businesses to meet market demand in just 12 months. It is also an innovative method of graduate incubation as it is underpinned by a specially designed one-year (MA) Entrepreneurship programme, where setting up a new high growth business becomes the learning vehicle. This means students both build a new business and gain a Master's Degree at the same time.
