Legal infrastructure for digital enterprise. We counsel technology companies navigating product development, market launch, platform governance, and regulatory compliance. Our practice serves founders, CTOs, and innovation teams who recognise that technical excellence demands equivalent legal sophistication.

Data & Privacy

Governance frameworks for collection, processing, and cross-border data flows

Compliance & Risk

Proactive strategies for algorithmic accountability, consumer protection, and regulatory exposure

Technology moves faster than precedent. We provide legal counsel that keeps pace—advising on contractual structures, user agreements, API terms, open source compliance, and the regulatory obligations of platforms operating at scale.

Whether you’re pre-revenue or processing millions of transactions monthly, we design documentation that protects your position while enabling operational flexibility.

Our Technology Practice

Terms of Service & User Agreements

Comprehensive terms for SaaS platforms, mobile applications, eCommerce operations, and API services. We draft with precision—balancing enforceability, user experience, and commercial objectives. Every clause earns its place.

AI & Algorithmic Governance

As AI integration accelerates, legal obligations evolve. We counsel on machine learning deployment, training data rights, algorithmic transparency requirements, and liability allocation in automated decision-making systems.

Platform Compliance

App Store guidelines, payment processor requirements, age verification systems, and content moderation frameworks. We help ensure your platform architecture is designed to satisfy the commercial and regulatory expectations of digital distribution.

Open Source & Licensing

Strategic counsel on software licensing, component audit, GPL compliance, and commercialisation of open-source projects. We help you leverage community innovation without compromising proprietary advantage.

Data Architecture & Privacy

Privacy-by-design frameworks, consent mechanisms, data residency planning, and cross-border transfer protocols. Compliance structures that protect user rights while enabling product functionality.

Our Process

When Do You Need an Estate Plan?

Estate planning isn’t only for later in life. Certain milestones make it especially important to have a plan in place:

Marriage

Consider creating a will, trust, or an incapacity plan to protect your assets and ensure end-of-life care is clear and spelled out.

Children

Having a family is the perfect time to update your estate plan to ensure assets are passed down and legal guardianship is clear.

Start a Business

A trust or business succession plan can help make it easier to control your business, tax planning and privacy purposes.

Asset Accumulation

As you accumulate assets in your lifetime, it may be necessary to set up a trust to avoid probate and make sure your assets are protected.

Divorce / Remarriage

A divorce or remarriage is the perfect time to change power of attorney, update estate plans and incapacity plans.

Retirement

This milestone is a good time to make sure your estate plan is up to date—and to prepare for the years ahead.

The Elder Years

As you get older, it’s important to continue to make sure affairs are in order, and your estate plans and incapacity plans are up to date.

Technology Law FAQ

Ideally, as early as possible—often before incorporation or commercialization.

Engaging counsel at the foundational stage is critical to ensure your business is built on solid ground. We recommend seeking advice before you begin commercializing your product to address three key areas:

  • Intellectual Property (IP) Protection: Ensuring the company—not the individual founders—owns all necessary IP assets. This is essential for the company to legally charge for the product’s use and to satisfy future investors during due diligence.
  • Corporate Structure: Establishing the correct internal structure between shareholders and directors. It is vital to clearly define these roles, understand how they interact, and govern the relationship between business partners to prevent future disputes.
  • Investment Readiness: Structuring the company from day one to facilitate future capital raising.

We focus on transparency, scope, and data rights.

AI governance in contracts is primarily about declaring the scope of the AI’s role and managing the flow of data. Our approach ensures that all parties understand clearly how the technology functions. Key elements we address include:

  • Scope of Usage: Clearly defining where and how AI is utilized within the platform or in the delivery of services.
  • Data Sovereignty & Training: Explicitly stating how user inputs are handled. This includes whether user data is used to train the AI models, who has access to that data, and where the data is processed geographically.
  • Model Transparency: As clients become more sophisticated, we increasingly include disclosures regarding which specific underlying models are being utilized.

A bespoke analysis of your platform’s unique mechanics and legal risks.

Platform Terms of Service are among the most complex documents we review because they must mirror the unique functionality of your specific software. Relying on “copied” terms from competitors is dangerous because they rarely account for the specific nuances of your product.

Our review ensures your terms are tailored to your platform, covering:

  • Operational Description: Accurately describing the unique service mechanics to prevent scope creep or misunderstanding.
  • Risk Management: Robustly limiting liability and drafting precise indemnity clauses to protect the business.
  • User Obligations: Making it explicitly clear what users are responsible for, how they interact with one another, and acceptable use policies.
  • Commercial Mechanics: Clearly defined payment terms and dispute resolution frameworks.
