Areas of work

Commercial contracts and review

MSA and order forms · Redlines · Vendor agreements

In short

We draft, review and negotiate the contracts a technology business signs with customers, vendors and partners. That can be a full set of templates, or one agreement reviewed before you sign it.

Where problems usually start

Early contracts are often assembled from templates found online or inherited from a previous employer, then edited under time pressure while a large customer waits. Uptime is promised without being measured, indemnities are accepted without being priced, and each deal is renegotiated from the start because there is no house position. The problem surfaces in due diligence, when every signed agreement has to be read again.

How we approach it

We draft and negotiate master services agreements, order forms, statements of work, confidentiality agreements, reseller and referral terms, and vendor contracts. We review them against how the product runs: service levels the infrastructure can meet, liability positions in proportion to the deal, and security commitments the systems can support. For a company that signs many contracts, the aim is a standard set it can sign repeatedly, with a short list of positions it will defend and a shorter list it will concede.

What our work involves

For startups and in-house teams

A startup signing its first enterprise deal and an in-house team handling many contracts a month both need a house set they can sign repeatedly, a playbook their business teams can follow, and a quick second read when a contract must be signed fast.
