Contracts & Commercial Transactions
Protect your interests in every deal.
Overview
Your daily operations run on contracts. Whether you are licensing a SaaS product, onboarding a critical new vendor, or securing a major customer, the terms of those agreements dictate your risk and revenue. I draft, review, and negotiate clear, enforceable contracts that protect your interests and prevent costly disputes down the line.
Raising capital or acquiring a competitor are massive milestones that require meticulous legal oversight. I provide end-to-end support for your financing rounds and M&A activities. From conducting thorough due diligence to drafting the definitive transaction documents, I ensure the deal is structured favorably and closes smoothly.
The work doesn't stop when the deal closes; in fact, the most critical phase often begins right after. I help preserve the value of your purchase by coordinating with cross-functional teams to integrate new partnerships, align compliance standards, and ensure a seamless operational transition post-acquisition.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. We represent one party in any negotiation to avoid conflicts of interest. However, we regularly negotiate on behalf of both buyers and sellers, licensors and licensees, and vendors and customers across different engagements.
-
Our M&A support covers the full transaction lifecycle: due diligence review, letter of intent (LOI) drafting, definitive purchase agreement negotiation, disclosure schedules, representations and warranties, closing conditions, and post-closing integration coordination.
-
A straightforward seed or Series A round can often be documented in 2–4 weeks once terms are agreed. More complex rounds with multiple investors, side letters, or unusual terms can take longer. We work to keep the legal process from becoming a bottleneck.
-
Even “standard” SaaS agreements contain important provisions around data ownership, liability caps, indemnification, auto-renewal, and termination rights that can significantly affect your business. A legal review before signing can prevent costly surprises.
-
After closing, we help coordinate the legal aspects of integration: aligning contracts with new ownership, updating vendor and customer agreements, ensuring regulatory and compliance continuity, and resolving any issues that surface during the transition period.
