Product and technology counsel
Feature review · Release readiness · Regulatory mapping
In short
We review new features, integrations and data flows while they are being built, so legal questions are settled before launch.
Where problems usually start
Most teams first speak to a lawyer at the contract stage, after the data model is fixed. By then the collection choices, retention defaults and third-party calls are in production, and advice can describe the gap but not prevent it. Product managers guess which features carry legal weight, and engineers see compliance as paperwork handed to them at the end.
How we approach it
We advise product and engineering teams while a product is being built. That means reviewing features before release, checking what data a new integration or SDK brings in, testing retention and access decisions against the law, and turning regulatory requirements into changes an engineer can make. If a feature cannot work lawfully as designed, we say so early and suggest a version that can.
What our work involves
- Legal review in design and pre-release discussions, while a feature is still a ticket.
- A clear statement of which fields, events and third-party calls create obligations.
- Advice written as changes an engineer can make: stop collecting a field, shorten a retention period, move a call behind consent.
- A written release-readiness note before launch, marking what is clear, what is conditional and what must wait.
For startups and in-house teams
A startup's first release and a new feature inside an established company get the same review: a legal read before launch, and a short list of what must be fixed now and what can wait.
