Technology agreements, from a former tech General Counsel.
Software and hardware deals carry terms that ordinary commercial contracts do not: who owns what gets built, what the vendor can do with your data, what happens when the service goes down. We negotiate and draft these agreements for technology companies selling them and for the businesses buying them.
Fee basis: Flat or fixed fee per agreement or template suite, quoted before work starts.
Who we work with.
- SaaS and software companies that need customer-facing terms that close deals.
- Hardware and device companies licensing software or selling through channels.
- Businesses buying critical software and wanting the terms to protect them.
- Companies adding AI features, or buying AI tools, and sorting out data-use terms.
- Resellers, integrators, and channel partners negotiating with vendors.
