Almost every part of your business now runs on technology you license, build, or outsource, and each of those arrangements carries legal terms that decide what happens when something fails. We help you procure, develop, deploy, and manage IT systems with contracts that actually protect you. Because the firm was founded by software engineers, we read these deals with an eye on how the technology really works, not just how the boilerplate reads.
Software And Technology Licensing
The agreements behind your software stack determine your costs, your risk, and your room to maneuver. We draft and negotiate enterprise software licenses, SaaS and cloud agreements, development contracts, maintenance and support arrangements, and reseller and distribution deals. We pay close attention to the terms that bite later, such as scope of use, audit and true-up rights, price escalation, and what happens to your data and access when the relationship ends.
Cloud Computing Agreements
Moving to the cloud changes who controls your infrastructure and your data, which changes the terms you should insist on. We negotiate cloud service agreements covering service levels, where data lives, security obligations, business continuity, and exit rights. The provider's standard contract is written for the provider, so we focus on the protections you actually need, including a realistic plan for getting your data and operations back out if you need to leave.
IT Outsourcing And Managed Services
Handing technology functions to an outside provider can save money and effort, but only if the contract is structured carefully. We negotiate managed services agreements, business process outsourcing deals, and infrastructure outsourcing arrangements, with attention to service levels, governance, change control, and the transition both into and out of the relationship. We aim for terms that keep the provider accountable and keep you from getting locked in with no leverage.
IT Governance And Risk
Good contracts are only part of the picture; you also need internal practices that keep your technology use defensible. We advise on IT governance, vendor management, data handling, and the policies that tie your technology decisions to your legal obligations. With backgrounds on both the engineering and legal sides, we help you set up practices your technical teams can actually follow rather than rules that get ignored the first time they slow someone down.
