IT Contracts

Technology relationships rely on clear, well-structured agreements. We help create, review, and negotiate technology contracts including software licensing, SaaS arrangements, and vendor agreements. Many clients find that having contracts that accurately reflect their actual business relationships prevents costly misunderstandings later.

Technology innovations often represent significant competitive advantages. We help protect your technology through appropriate combinations of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and confidentiality measures. Our work includes both securing these rights and advising on licensing and enforcement to maintain your competitive position.
