Technology companies live on their contracts and their intellectual property. A software company’s value is in its code and its customer agreements; a services company’s value is in its people and its client terms. The firm writes and reviews the documents that protect both.
Agreements technology companies rely on
- Service agreements and statements of work for consulting and development work.
- Software license and subscription agreements, including terms for hosted software.
- Website terms of use and privacy policies that match what the business actually does with customer data.
- Contractor and developer agreements that assign ownership of the work to the company. Without a written assignment, the person who wrote the code may own it.
- Reseller, referral, and partnership agreements.
Protecting what you built
Confidentiality agreements with employees, contractors, and prospects; assignment of inventions; and the ownership provisions in every agreement that touches the product. The firm reviews existing agreements for gaps in ownership before a company raises money or is sold, because buyers and investors will look for those gaps.
