Our Capabilities
From ASICs to outsourcing, our attorneys understand IT technology and technology businesses. Most have technical backgrounds and industry experience in software, electronics or semiconductors. For our clients, this means that:

• We quickly understand business models and objectives, which saves time and avoids mistakes.
• We are a true strategic partner, offering advice and insights grounded on our experience in handling thousands of comparable transactions.
• We leverage our past experience to deliver results with less effort and fewer billable hours, saving clients money.

Sales and Distribution
Our clients’ success depends on quickly closing sales, which in the IT industry often requires complex contract negotiations. We understand the dynamics and challenges of the IT sales cycle and we help vendors close deals quickly, cost-effectively and with less risk. Whether it is the end-of-quarter crunch or a must-win account, we regularly handle revenue-generating transactions. We can also revamp standard form sales contracts to make them easier to read, negotiate and administer. Additionally, we handle a wide range of distribution, license and alliance agreements, including OEM, VAR, co-branding, teaming and referral agreements.

Corporate and Finance
We help entrepreneurs establish new businesses from the ground up. As your company grows, we can handle its day-to-day legal affairs, includingemployment matters and contracts. When it comes time to raise capital, we can structure and negotiate angel and venture investments. We also represent investors, and in appropriate circumstances can leverage that experience to provide our clients with strategic advice and introductions.
