Commercial & Technology Contracts

The contracts that run the business, drafted to survive diligence.

As you scale, your contracts become assets an investor or buyer will read line by line. We draft the commercial and technology agreements — customer, supplier, platform, data — so they hold up commercially and in diligence.

Growth companies live and die by a handful of repeated contracts: the customer agreement, the platform terms, the data-processing addendum, the reseller deal. Get the template right once and it scales cleanly; get it wrong and every signed copy is a liability that surfaces during due diligence. We build the contract suite your business actually uses, and keep it current with the law.

What we do

  • SaaS, subscription and platform terms of service, and master services agreements
  • Customer, supplier, distribution, reseller and channel-partner agreements
  • Technology licensing, IP assignment and development agreements
  • Data-protection compliance under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 — privacy notices, consent and data-processing agreements
  • Non-disclosure agreements, MOUs and term sheets for commercial deals
  • Contract reviews and clean-ups ahead of a financing or a sale

Typical matters

  • A master SaaS agreement suite and order-form templates for an enterprise-software scale-up.
  • Platform terms and merchant agreements for a payments company operating across several markets.
  • A PDPA compliance review and data-processing framework for a health-tech group handling sensitive data.
  • A reseller and channel-partner agreement for a consumer-tech brand expanding regionally.

Who it is for

Scaling technology, platform and consumer businesses that need a contract suite that grows with them and survives an investor’s or acquirer’s review.

How we charge. Contract-suite work is usually scoped as a fixed-fee package per document set, with a discounted rate for ongoing template maintenance under a light retainer.
Questions

Frequently asked

Can we not just use a template we found online?

For a while, yes — and then an enterprise customer redlines it, or a diligence lawyer flags that your terms give away IP you meant to keep, or that your data clauses do not meet the PDPA. A template built for your business, once, is cheaper than repapering signed contracts later.

What does PDPA compliance actually require?

At a minimum, a compliant privacy notice, a lawful basis for the personal data you collect, appropriate security, and data-processing terms with the vendors who handle data for you. If you operate across borders, transfers need to be handled too. We map what you collect and give you a practical framework rather than a generic policy.

Who owns the IP in software we had developed for us?

Not you, unless the development agreement says so in writing. Absent an assignment, a developer or contractor can retain ownership of what they build. We make sure IP created for the company is assigned to the company — and check the position on anything already built.
