Technology and Software

ASK A QUESTION

Technology and software businesses move quickly, and the legal side rarely keeps pace on its own. The contracts, licences and protections that hold everything together are easy to put off, right up until an investor or a dispute makes them urgent.

The work runs across the life of the business. At the start, it’s the founding documents and protecting the intellectual property everything is built on. After that, it’s the contracts that keep things running: software licences and cloud subscriptions, development, support and maintenance, reseller and distribution deals, framework agreements, and the compliance and terms behind your website. When you raise money or come to sell, we make sure all of it stands up to scrutiny. We work across sectors including defence, healthcare, data management and artificial intelligence.

Standard supplier terms are written to protect the supplier, so we make sure yours protect you.

We work with technology and software businesses at every stage: a start-up getting its first contracts and intellectual property protection in place, or an established company reviewing the supplier terms it’s about to sign. Wherever you sit on that scale, here’s where our technology and software team can help.

If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
