ITLA engineers optimal transaction outcomes for you
Technology related contracts and transactions have unique characteristics that require nuanced experience and expertise. Here are a few examples...
Rapid Change
The technology industry is characterized by rapid change and innovation. ITLA structures contracts to be flexible and adaptable to accommodate new developments, updates, or changing requirements.
IP Protection
IP often represents a significant portion of the value in tech transactions. ITLA clearly defines the ownership, licensing, and usage of IP, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
Privacy and Data Security
Technology transactions frequently involve the handling, processing, or storage of sensitive data. Contracts should address data privacy, security, and compliance with applicable regulations to ensure that data is protected and used responsibly.
Integration
Technology transactions often require integrating different systems, software, or platforms. Contracts must outline the responsibilities for integration and compatibility testing, as well as any necessary modifications or customizations.
Service Level Agreements
In technology transactions, especially involving cloud or software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers, contracts should include detailed SLAs specifying performance metrics, uptime guarantees, and penalties for non-compliance.
Maintenance and Support
Technology contracts should clearly define the scope, terms, and pricing of maintenance and support services, ensuring that the parties understand their obligations and responsibilities for keeping systems operational and up-to-date.
Escrow
For technology transactions involving mission-critical software or systems, contracts may include escrow arrangements to protect the licensee in case the licensor goes out of business, fails to maintain the software, or breaches the agreement.
Warranties and Indemnification
Contracts should include warranties for the performance, functionality, and quality of the technology, as well as indemnification clauses to protect parties from third-party claims or liabilities arising from the use or implementation of the technology.
Training
To ensure the successful implementation and adoption of technology, contracts should address the transfer of knowledge and training for personnel involved in the project.
Termination and Transition
Technology-related transactions require a skilled and nuanced approach to terminations and transitions to minimize disruption and ensure a smooth handover.
