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.
