Technology
Having worked extensively with leading companies across many kinds of technology, we know how these deals are built and where they come apart. We help you buy, sell, license and build technology on terms that hold up once the work starts.
IP
Licensing technology in and out requires legal knowledge, but also a view on your company’s longer term strategic goals. Exclusivity, dependencies, the scope of the licence: they all have pitfalls that we can help you avoid. Who owns what your developers and contractors create deserves the same attention.
Liability
Every technology contract divides risk between the parties, and the wording decides where it lands. We look at warranties, indemnities and caps, what “as is” actually leaves you with, what your subcontractors are liable for, and whether a service level says anything useful when the service is down.
Joint ventures
Building something with another company raises questions a supply contract does not: who contributes which technology, who owns the result, and what each side may do with it afterwards. Whether by contract or through a separate entity, we put those answers in writing first.
Start-ups
Growing a technology company means balancing capital needs, staff incentives and control at every round. We prepare the documents that go with it, from founder arrangements and option plans to investor terms, and act as the credible neutral party that keeps founders and investors talking.
