SaaS & Software Development
Industry focus
Ship fast. Without accumulating legal debt.
Software companies sign enterprise agreements, process customer data across regions and depend on open-source and third-party components — each a source of obligation.
We build the contractual and engineering scaffolding that lets you close deals, pass security reviews and scale without rewriting your foundations.
How we add value
We work inside the development lifecycle, not beside it.
Our lawyers and legal engineers join sprints, translate obligations into non-functional requirements and review architecture for legal risk before code ships.
We also prepare the artifacts your enterprise customers demand: security schedules, data-processing terms, subprocessor disclosures and assessment documentation.
IP hygiene
Ownership, contributor and open-source review so diligence never stalls a round.
Privacy engineering
Requirements embedded in the SDLC, from dataflow design to configuration review.
Customer assurance
Documentation that answers security questionnaires before they arrive.
- SaaS Agreements
- Intellectual Property
- Open Source
- Privacy by Design
- Security Schedules
Who It’s For
- SaaS and platform companies selling to enterprise
- Startups preparing for diligence or expansion
- Product and engineering teams with regulatory requirements
