Technology & Startups
We are the firm for builders. We have sat through enough term-sheet negotiations and product-launch checklists to know that legal advice should accelerate a roadmap, never slow it. Founders, operators, and investors work with us on incorporation and governance, cap-table and equity design, venture financings from pre-seed to growth, and the contracts that carry a software or marketplace business. The research behind a data-privacy answer, a SaaS license, or an AI-governance question comes from the firm's own library of 180,000+ current authorities, with the sources attached — so the advice is grounded in what the law says, not in what we remember. We speak the stack, so the documents we draft actually match what your engineers built.
Focus areas

- SaaS, marketplace, and platform agreements
- AI product governance, model licensing, and liability
