Areas of Practice


Transfer Pricing

With the increase in international trade, has come an increase in intercompany transactions, and unfortunately so too, an increase in the scrutiny—and aggressiveness—from tax authorities of the transfer price of those transactions.  Drawing on more than 30 years experience, IP Economics has been helping clients manage their transfer pricing issues through principled planning, dispute resolution and documentation to help mitigate their tax risk while adding value to their business operations.

  • Whether acquiring or dissolving a business line, restructuring one’s IP, supply chain or tax structure, implementing business and/or tax changes while remaining in compliance with ever-changing tax rules is no small feat.

    IP Economics with more than 30 years of experience has been helping companies uncover strategic opportunities in their business planning through the application of principles-based planning and valuation, as to optimize business value while mitigating tax risk.

  • Unfortunately in today’s business climate, companies face increasingly aggressive tax challenges—both in the frequency and size of proposed audit adjustments-- to their transfer pricing arrangements at the state, federal and international levels.

    IP Economics has direct experience successfully resolving TP disputes, particularly in cases involving the U.S. and foreign tax authorities in Canada, the EU, India, Japan and the UK through administrative appeals, APA and Competent Authority .

  • Over the past decade, transfer pricing compliance obligations have not only become increasingly prevalent—now in more than 100 countries—but increasingly expansive, and punitive as well.

    IP Economics provides the full array of compliance reporting, from OECD compliant packages (i.e., Country by Country, Master File, Local File) to multi-country template reports to simple benchmark studies.


IP Assessment & Valuation

The acquisition, or sale, a business involving IP assets, particularly in the context of cross-border transactions, can entail unexpected costs (i.e., future tax liabilities), as well as opportunities, depending on the prior deployment and transfer pricing arrangements—or lack thereof-- undertaken.  IP Economics’ principled approach to IP/transfer pricing due diligence—particularly in cases where there is little/no prior documentation-- can provide clients a full and insightful assessment of the potential benefits and costs of the deal and financial and transfer pricing implications of the IP assets involved.


IP Monetization

Realizing the full, fair value, whether through the licensing, sale or deployment of your IP assets, particularly early-stage assets, requires a principled and structured assessment of not only the subject IP and the potential fields or markets of use, but also the economic conditions of the geographic markets, its competitors and substitutes.  IP Economics has been helping independent inventors, early stage ventures and mid-market companies understand the value potential (and limitations) of their IP assets to help guide the business decisions and monetization of those assets.
