COMPREHENSIVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AUDIT
At Phoenix & Flag, we provide specialized intellectual property due diligence services designed to deliver a thorough assessment of the validity, legal status, and risk exposure associated with an organization’s intangible assets.
This comprehensive audit equips stakeholders with the insights required to make informed, strategic decisions in the context of investments, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and international expansion.
IP due diligence extends beyond verifying the formal existence of rights. It involves a detailed evaluation of scope, enforceability, protection levels, regulatory compliance, and potential legal or commercial contingencies.
Our multidisciplinary teams—comprising IP attorneys, technical analysts, specialized linguists, and sector-focused consultants—combine legal rigor with strategic, financial, and multilingual perspectives to deliver a complete and actionable assessment.

- Review of licensing, assignment, franchise, and confidentiality agreements
- Identification of encumbrances, disputes, and ownership conflicts
