Whether you are a tech start-up or an established company that deals with technology issues, we can assist you in navigating this rapidly changing area of the law. 

Internet Law
If you're a web company or operate an internet site in connection with your business, we can help you tailor your Terms of Services and Privacy Policy to your particular business model, keep you apprised of state and federal regulations governing online transactions and ensure that your online contracts are legally enforceable. We can also help you understand the legal and practical implications arising from the use of social media, Web 2.0 technologies, and user-generated content.

Technology Transactions
Experts often use the concept of "a bundle of sticks" to describe the various rights that are associated with a given technology. Technology transactions such as development agreements, licensing arrangements, or the outright sale of technology or the companies that own it must be specially tailored so that you obtain (or retain) the specific rights in the technology you need for your business purpose. We can help you negotiate these arrangements and put in place the necessary legal documentation to protect your interests.

"Open Source" and "Free" Software Licensing
Companies that fail to recognize the significance of the open-source software movement tend to either miss out on cost-saving opportunities by steering away from "open source" completely or introduce unacceptable risks into their business by overusing it without understanding the associated limitations and obligations. We can help you understand the "open source" and "free" software licensing framework, structure a business model to take full advantage of its benefits, and implement a policy to help limit the risks. 

Intellectual Property
Depending on your business model and industry, protecting your investment in technology may be as simple as keeping it a secret. Often, however, a properly structured intellectual property strategy involves a tailored approach that includes trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents. Our attorneys can help you determine and implement the appropriate strategy for your business.
