General Counsel Concierge Service
I help sales operations leaders in hi-tech consulting and software companies of all sizes to develop, negotiate and modify business contracts, SOW's licenses (both in-bound and out-bound), HR Agreements and financial transactions so that they are legally protected, present a professional image and close business faster. This often entails identifying the business and legal risks, advising clients on structures and alternatives for managing that risk and helping to implement a solution that reflects the management's direction. This provides a powerful resource in navigating the challenges tech companies and tech consumers face in growing their business, managing their risks and maximizing their profits.
Tech companies have both standard business needs as well as a variety of requirements that are closely tied to the dynamic technology market that they service. As an active advisor and counsel to various members of that tech community, my advice transitions from text-book to practical in a manner that is difficult . Things like constructing an acceptance testing; constructing appropriate contract remedies for aproject; when a Loaner vs. a POC makes sense; input on SLAs, providing SOW advice, when a Referral agreement makes sense vs. a Teaming Agreement vs. a Reseller Agreement vs. and OEM Agreement. Any counsel can respond to the agreement you, your customer or your vendor provides, but is that the right agreement for the relationship you envision? I can help you navigate the distinctions within the context of a fluid negotiation where the relationship structure is not yet agreed; often the best answer includes features from several classical relationships. This sort of advice can be the most valuable part of the process, that is the precise area that makes my counsel most effective for technology clients.
I provide my client's Legal and Management team with a flexible senior technical counsel to address cyclical demand spikes (end of quarter, end of year); legal support for special projects and/or overflow work specializing in leasing/financing, Professional Services contracts and licensing agreements. This service provides a flexible resource that allows the legal management team to maintain a very high level of quality and timely support even when confronted with extraordinary short-term staffing challenges.
