Covington is widely recognized as a leader in the highly specialized field of royalty monetizations structured as sales directly to investors and through special purpose vehicles.  We are well-versed in the use of monetizations to manage risk and raise capital to fund R&D and in-licensing activities, to develop product pipelines and help commercialize new products and to offset the costs of acquisitions.  We advise all of the principal participants in these transactions, including financial and strategic investors, major universities, individual inventors and life sciences companies.  Through our representation of all of the principal participants, we have developed a deep understanding of the perspectives of the participants in this novel and growing market that enables us to develop structures that satisfy the expectations of all parties.
