The Practice

Contracts written for how the technology actually works.

Technology deals tend to break at the seams: who owns what the software produces, what happens when a service goes down, how data may be used, and who pays when something fails. Crystal Venning Law drafts and negotiates the agreements that settle those questions before they become disputes.

Crystal Venning is also a commercial litigator, admitted in New York, Texas and Georgia, so each agreement is drafted with an eye to how it would be read if a dispute ever reached a court or an arbitrator.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Can you review a contract the other side drafted?

Yes. Many engagements start with the other side’s draft. We identify the terms that carry real risk, propose changes and negotiate them.

Which terms deserve the closest look in a software or SaaS agreement?

Usually ownership of data and outputs, service levels and what you receive when they are missed, limits on liability, indemnities, renewal and termination rights, and where and how disputes will be resolved.

What should I have ready for a consultation?

The current draft or term sheet, a short summary of the deal and your deadline. Please don’t send confidential documents until conflicts are cleared and an engagement is agreed.
