Our Practices

01

Commercial and Technology Transactions

We represent technology providers, enterprise customers and other businesses in the development, licensing, acquisition, sale and use of technology, software, data and technology-enabled services.
Our lawyers draft and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including:
  • Master services agreements and statements of work
  • SaaS, cloud services and software licensing agreements
  • Technology development, implementation and integration agreements
  • Professional and consulting services agreements
  • Data processing, data use and data-sharing agreements
  • Artificial intelligence and technology-enabled service agreements
  • Outsourcing, managed services and business-process agreements
  • Reseller, referral, channel and distribution agreements
  • Procurement, sourcing and vendor agreements
  • Equipment purchase, supply and maintenance agreements
  • Confidentiality, nondisclosure and intellectual-property agreements
We understand the provisions that frequently determine the real allocation of value and risk—including intellectual-property ownership, use of data, information security, service levels, warranties, indemnification, limitations of liability, regulatory obligations, termination rights and transition assistance.
Whether we are helping a provider close a strategic customer agreement or assisting a customer with a critical technology acquisition, our advice is grounded in the client’s business objectives and negotiating leverage.

02

Outside General Counsel and In-House Legal Support

We serve as outside general counsel to companies that need experienced legal leadership without adding a full-time senior lawyer. We also provide targeted support to in-house legal departments facing demanding transactions, increased contract volume, temporary staffing needs or specialized commercial and technology matters.
Our support may include:
  • Day-to-day corporate and commercial advice
  • Sales and procurement contract negotiations
  • Development of contract templates and clause libraries
  • Contract playbooks and escalation procedures
  • Support for quarter-end and other high-volume contracting periods
  • Management of outside specialists and local counsel
  • Legal support for new products, markets and strategic initiatives
  • Transactional support during leaves, transitions and periods of growth
We integrate with internal business and legal teams and adapt our role to the client’s needs—from handling a discrete strategic transaction to becoming an ongoing extension of the company’s legal function.

03

Corporate, M&A and Strategic Transactions

We counsel startups, established businesses, investors and management teams throughout the business lifecycle.
Our corporate practice includes:
  • Entity formation and founder arrangements
  • Corporate governance and board matters
  • Equity issuances and ownership arrangements
  • Venture capital, private equity and strategic investments
  • Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures
  • Joint ventures and strategic alliances
  • Corporate reorganizations
  • Commercial and technology due diligence
  • Transaction structuring and negotiation
  • General corporate and operational advice
In an acquisition or sale, we work closely with clients from preliminary structuring and letters of intent through diligence, definitive documentation, closing and post-closing matters. We focus attention on the issues that affect transaction value, deal certainty and the client’s continuing obligations after closing.
