Technology & SaaS
Senior counsel reviews every enterprise agreement we touch.
We advise Canadian technology and SaaS companies on the agreements that carry the most value and the most risk: enterprise contracts, MSAs, licensing terms, and SaaS agreements. Senior counsel handles each one directly, no junior handoff.
The Industry
Legal exposure compounds with growth, and most founders address it only after it costs them a deal.
The first customer contract, the first enterprise MSA, the terms attached to a funding round: each stage introduces exposure most companies don't see until a dispute or a lost deal forces the issue.
We work with technology and SaaS companies before that point, whether that means reviewing a single agreement, building contract templates for a sales team, or providing ongoing oversight as the business scales.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Built for Technology Companies at Every Stage.
We work with technology businesses from early-stage startups through to scaling and established companies. The legal challenges differ at each stage and our support is tailored accordingly.
Early Stage Startups
The foundational agreements that let you bring on customers, contractors, and co-founders without exposure you can't see yet.
Scaling SaaS Companies
Enterprise contract review and MSA development for companies moving upmarket into larger, more complex agreements.
Technology Consulting Firms
Statement of work templates, MSAs, and contractor frameworks for firms delivering technology services to enterprise clients.
Common Challenges
Where Technology Companies Encounter Legal Risk.
01
Enterprise Contract Complexity
Unreviewed enterprise agreements erode liability protection, lock in unfavourable pricing, and can transfer IP rights the business depends on. Buyers draft these terms in their favour as a starting position, not an exception.
02
Software Licensing Gaps
A licence with undefined scope, permitted use, or termination rights hands the ambiguity to whichever party is more willing to exploit it. That ambiguity tends to surface inside the revenue model the licence was meant to protect.
03
Data Privacy Compliance
PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation set a moving target, and agreements drafted two years ago rarely meet the current bar. Companies handling personal data need policies and processes that hold up under regulatory and customer scrutiny alike.
04
Contractor and Employment Risk
IP ownership, non-solicitation, and worker classification are the three gaps that turn a contractor relationship into a liability. Companies engaging offshore talent or remote contractors without addressing them carry exposure that surfaces during diligence, not before.
