For technology businesses, there’s often a disconnect between legal advice and commercial realities.That’s because lawyers typically don’t have experience outside a narrow legal sphere.But with in-house experience in the technology and telecommunications industry, including two years as a project manager, I am more than familiar with how legal and commercial interests intersect.WHO I HELP__________I’m the go-to tech lawyer for entrepreneurs and small business owners who want down-to-earth legal advice that protects their interests. I work with early stage and mature companies that offer managed software and services, platform and SaaS services, and telecommunications solutions.My clients are generally at a critical stage of their business lifecycle where they are looking to: ■ Launch a product to market■ Undertake a large purchase or major agreement■ Protect their IP■ Restructure their businessHOW I’M DIFFERENT_________________I have a commercial background, and it shows. I’ve been told that my advice is easy to understand, uses plain English, and assesses risk not just from a legal perspective but with a strong business understanding. I take the time to really understand my clients’ business and their technology offerings, which means that legal documents aren’t just superficial, but offer depth and consideration of future scenarios and outcomes.EXAMPLE: THE PLATFORM PLAY__________________________Your IT lawyer needs to meet the challenges of a fast-changing industry. I have worked with platform creators that are industry disruptors: providing new ways for industries to connect and collaborate. Behind the scenes, the IP and contractual issues are complicated and require careful legal and commercial consideration.
