What We Do

---

At Vertechs we are committed to delivering exceptional legal services tailored to the unique needs of each client. Whether you're a startup, an early stage company or an established corporation, we are here to be your trusted partner in achieving your business objectives and navigating the complexities of technology transactions with confidence.

What We Do:

Technology Licensing: We assist our clients in drafting and negotiating both in-bound and out-bound technology licensing agreements, ensuring that their intellectual property rights are protected while maximizing the value of their technology assets. Whether you're looking to monetize your innovations or to leverage external technologies, we provide strategic guidance every step of the way.

Software as a Service (SaaS) Agreements: As the software applications continue to migrate from on-premise solutions to the cloud, we help our clients navigate through the nuances of SaaS contracting. This involves not only negotiating with SaaS vendors and customers, but also helping clients establish an appropriate SaaS contracting approach and updating existing license agreements to account for the unique issues relating to a SaaS environment.

Reseller and Distribution Agreements: Getting technology products to the actual end user may include contracting directly with the customer or leveraging other relationships with resellers, distributors, sales agents or other third party distribution channels. Each such channel requires companies to strike an appropriate balance between getting their products in the hands of the customer, managing risks associated with an expanded third party distribution channel, and maintain appropriate legal relationships with its third party channel partners. We help clients establish an approach that works for them, and negotiate such agreements at every stage.

Supply Chain and  Procurement Agreements: Very rarely is a software application or other technology solutions entirely “home grown” these days. Instead most solutions rely on the use of third party products and services, whether sold as part of the solution or included as background, embedded components or services. Whether it's outsourcing IT services or procuring hardware and software solutions, we advise on technology procurement strategies, helping clients structure and negotiate agreements with vendors and service providers to meet their business objectives effectively.

Software and Professional Services Agreements:  Technology companies often look outside of their organization with help in developing their technology, or themselves are such an outsourced service provider. We help our clients navigate the complexities of software development, consulting and other professional services agreements, securing appropriate business terms and protecting our clients’ IP rights that are always central to any such engagement.

Contracting Strategy: Central to any technology company’s success is the ability to sell or license its products as efficiently as possible, including by making even the contracting process a customer satisfier. Through our years of experience assisting software vendors, we help clients establish an appropriate contracting approach and framework for commercializing their products, and taking a business friendly approach to negotiating through even the most complex issues.

Intellectual Property Protection: Intellectual property is often the most valuable asset for technology-driven businesses, and central to any successful commercialization strategy. We offer strategic counsel on intellectual property protection, particularly as it relates to using and licensing technology products. We help our clients protect their IP – perhaps their most valuable asset – and develop robust IP strategies to safeguard their innovations and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
