Technology

Years later, our privacy and IP focus has made us a leading choice for digital-first businesses that have learned the value of strategic, ongoing expertise amid a landscape of VC-beholden Silicon Valley firms and legacy entertainment and publishing boutiques.

We aren’t just tech attorneys. We will use and learn about your products. We understand the operational constraints of early-stage companies. We see ourselves as members of your team, not just your outside attorney. Most importantly, we recognize that you care about clear advice, closing deals, and contract solutions that reduce your legal costs. We’ve grown with that in mind. And we’re only accelerating as identity rights and AI power new businesses, obliterating those old boundaries.

Focus Areas

• AI development and compliance: We advise on AI development and deployment at all levels of complexity, beginning with foundational principles tailored to intended use-cases and potentially applicable compliance regulations.
  • For development, our attorneys advise on early-stage issues, such as high-level decision-making around risk frameworks and compliance measures like AI policies, and ongoing granular considerations about dataset formation, data mapping, and enrichment, and usage restrictions stemming from privacy, contractual, copyright, and other registered-IP requirements.
  • FFor deployment, our attorneys counsel clients on input-output licensing, including training data usage and the integration of AI into existing systems, among other contractual considerations.
• Data privacy & security: We ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and VPPA, crafting robust privacy policies, managing data breaches, and providing cyberinsurance counsel.
• SaaS models and B2B professional services: We help SaaS businesses scale with an eye toward fundraising and exit opportunities. Our experience includes architecting core contract suites focused on drafting and negotiating licenses and partnerships with key partners and counseling on platform risk and on-prem vs. cloud deployment. 
• Consumer apps & ecommerce: Our attorneys also bring deep experience to key issues affecting consumer offerings and running mixed-audience marketplaces, from dispute-resolution optimization, arbitration issues, and intermediary risk to content moderation, autorenewal laws, and emerging types of consumer claims.
