An industry-focused approach

A business relationship
beyond a single contract.

A software sale may involve a subscription agreement, an implementation project, customer procurement terms, and questions about data. A development engagement may raise different questions about deliverables, acceptance, licensing, and ownership.

The documents need to be considered alongside how the business actually builds, sells, and supports its offering.

Brown & Blaier’s published technology practice includes software licensing, SaaS and other cloud contracts, e-commerce agreements, and data processing agreements. Its outside-counsel work adds the broader corporate and operational perspective.

This page is for technology businesses considering a continuing legal relationship. For help with a particular document, explore our technology contracts practice.

Common areas of support

Where legal questions connect.

Customer & subscription contracts

Review the proposed services, use rights, payment terms, renewal provisions, and customer responsibilities in the context of your product or service.

Development & implementation

Discuss project scope, deliverables, change requests, acceptance, and the business’s intended rights in the completed work.

Software & technology licensing

Address how software or other technology will be licensed, used, distributed, or commercialized under the proposed arrangement.

Data & website agreements

Consider data processing terms, rights to data, website terms, and privacy questions alongside the service the business provides.

Employees & outside developers

Connect contractor or employment documents with confidentiality obligations and the work product your business expects to receive.

Corporate & brand matters

Bring company governance, founder arrangements, and trademark questions into the broader conversation as the business develops.

Project work & recurring support

Choose the scope
that matches your needs.

If a single contract is the immediate priority, describe that document, the counterparty, and the negotiation stage. If similar questions recur, explain the pattern and the frequency.

The firm offers hourly work and fractional general counsel subscriptions. The appropriate arrangement depends on the agreed work.

A technology business’s needs may be broader than a particular subscription package. Review the published inclusions, limits, and exclusions rather than treating the areas on this page as a package description.

Our outside-counsel practice page explains the general relationship across industries. This page focuses on how that discussion applies to software and IT operations.

Prepare for a conversation

Explain what you build,
sell, or support.

A useful inquiry describes the product or service and the immediate legal question. The commercial context is as important as the name of the agreement.

Keep the initial inquiry general. Avoid sharing confidential information before an attorney-client relationship is established.

  • Your product, service, and customer type.
  • Whether the document is your form or a counterparty’s.
  • Development, implementation, or support obligations.
  • The role of customer data or third-party technology.
  • Current negotiation stage and any deadline.
Before you inquire

Common questions.

Do you work on SaaS agreements?

Yes. SaaS and other cloud contracts are part of the firm’s published technology-contract practice. Describe the service, customer relationship, and document you need.

Can you review a customer’s agreement instead of drafting our own?

The firm prepares, reviews, and negotiates technology contracts. Identify the document’s source and the commercial terms that matter to your business.

Does a subscription cover every service described here?

No. This page describes potential areas of legal support for software and IT businesses. Subscription services are governed by their stated inclusions, limits, and engagement terms.

What if we only need one agreement right now?

Start with that agreement in your inquiry. A recurring engagement and a particular drafting or negotiation project are different scopes to discuss.
