Technology & SaaS

Poorly drafted SaaS agreements, terms of service, and licensing deals create liability and limit revenue. Most tech companies sign contracts without understanding what they are agreeing to. A single poorly worded limitation of liability clause or missing renewal provision can cost more than a year of legal fees to unwind.

Pomeranz Law drafts and reviews SaaS agreements, terms of service, privacy policies, and end-user license agreements that protect the company and hold up in disputes. Every contract is reviewed with an eye toward how it performs when a customer pushes back, defaults, or walks away.

• Limitation of liability and warranty gaps that expose the company
• Auto-renewal and termination provisions that favor the customer
• Data ownership and license scope ambiguity
• Indemnification exposure from enterprise clients

Vesting schedules, cap table disputes, and co-founder disagreements are among the most common, and most damaging. Legal issues technology companies face in early and growth stages. When equity is not properly documented from the start, disputes become expensive and often existential for the company.

We help founders structure equity arrangements, draft shareholder agreements, and resolve cap table disputes before they threaten the company or a transaction. Getting equity right from the beginning is one of the most important legal decisions a technology company can make.

• Undocumented equity promises to early contributors
• Missing or ambiguous vesting schedules
• Cap table disputes with investors or advisors
• Co-founder buyout and exit disagreements

Technology companies depend on proprietary code, customer data, and internal processes that competitors would pay to access. When a departing employee walks out with confidential information, or when a contractor builds something using the company's data and claims it as their own, having the right agreements in place before it happens determines whether the company has any recourse at all.

We draft NDAs, confidentiality agreements, and contractor agreements that define what is proprietary, who owns what is built, and what happens when those boundaries are crossed. We also represent technology companies in disputes where confidential information has been misappropriated and swift action is required to stop further damage.

• Departing employees taking proprietary code or client data
• Missing or unenforceable confidentiality agreements with contractors
• Ownership disputes over software built by outside developers
• Trade secret misappropriation by former employees or partners

GDPR, CCPA, and state-level privacy laws create compliance obligations that technology companies often overlook until they face a regulatory inquiry or customer dispute. A data breach or privacy violation can trigger regulatory penalties, class action exposure, and reputational damage that takes years to recover from.

We help technology companies understand their data privacy obligations and build programs that meet them, before a breach or regulatory inquiry forces the issue. Getting compliant upfront is far less expensive than defending a regulatory investigation after the fact.

• GDPR and CCPA compliance gaps
• Inadequate privacy policies and terms of service
• Data breach notification obligations
• Vendor data processing agreement gaps

Misclassification of contractors, non-compete enforcement, and compensation disputes are routine in high-growth tech environments where hiring moves faster than documentation. When a key employee leaves and takes clients, code, or confidential data, having the right agreements in place is the difference between a recoverable situation and a serious legal fight.

We draft employment agreements, contractor agreements, and non-compete clauses, and handle disputes when departing employees take clients, code, or confidential data. Technology companies often move fast on hiring and slow on documentation. We help close that gap before it becomes a liability.

• Contractor misclassification exposure
• Non-compete and non-solicitation enforcement
• Departing employees taking code or clients
• Equity and compensation disputes

Technology companies rely on third-party vendors, resellers, and integration partners. When those relationships break down, the contracts that govern them become the entire battlefield. Ambiguous service level agreements, undefined performance standards, and missing termination rights all become leverage points in a dispute.

We negotiate and draft vendor contracts, reseller agreements, and integration partnerships, and represent technology companies when those relationships produce disputes. The relationships that power a SaaS business are only as strong as the agreements that define them.

• Ambiguous SLA terms and performance standards
• Reseller and channel partner disputes
• API and integration agreement conflicts
• Missing termination rights and exit provisions

Most law firms that work with technology companies are either too large and expensive for a growing company, or too general to understand the specific legal issues that technology businesses face. Pomeranz Law sits in the middle, practical, business-focused legal counsel that understands the technology business model and moves at the speed the company needs.

• We understand SaaS revenue mechanics, equity structures, and the legal exposure that comes with scaling
• We review contracts quickly and respond to disputes promptly
• We build infrastructure that prevents problems, not just responds to them
• Transparent, practical counsel without the overhead of a large firm
