Traverse Legal’s attorneys have represented software, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and related companies for almost thirty years. We are a software law firm with software attorneys who understand the complex legal issues in software development and licensing. Whether our attorneys are drafting software as a service (SaaS) agreements; negotiating software licensing; advising on software contracts; protecting software and technology patents; navigating the intersection between software and internet law; or representing parties in software-related litigation, Traverse Legal is the place for all of your software company’s legal needs.
We have experience in representing software companies in connection with all of their legal needs, including:
We can assist you with registering your business entity and advise on its structure and governance. Need to raise some capital? Interested in a merger or acquisition? We got you covered there, as well. Our software attorneys can help your company with the following:
Whether you are looking to form a corporation, create a limited liability company (“LLC”), or establish a non-profit organization, Traverse Legal knows how to register your business entity in all fifty states.
Whether you need an Operating Agreement or Corporate Bylaws depends upon the type of business entity that you create. Both documents will cover the internal governance and operation of your business.
From straightforward website agreements to complicated SaaS Agreements, our team is equipped to review, draft, advise, and negotiate any software-related contract. Our SaaS contract attorneys specialize in internet law and software licensing, ensuring that all your contractual needs are covered so you can worry about building your business rather than crossing all the “t’s” and dotting the “i’s.” Traverse Legal’s attorneys can assist your companies with the following:
Companies offering either Software as a Service or Platform as a Service (“PaaS”) need an Agreement to solidify the relationship with its customer. We can help advise regarding the critical issues involved and draw upon our experience representing providers and customers.
The scope of any software license is as important to a company’s current and future success as any other matter. Our software licensing attorneys can educate you about the options and make recommendations based on experience in the market.
Also known as “Terms of Use” or “Terms and Conditions.” This Agreement is entered between your software company and your website users. Traverse Legal’s internet law attorneys have drafted countless Terms of Service Agreements for software-related companies.
Aka: “EULAs.” End User License Agreements are akin to a website’s terms of use but specifically geared toward your software company’s mobile application. All mobile applications in the Apple App Store must have a EULA and include certain language required by Apple.
With data privacy protection laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) on the rise, your software company must have a privacy policy in place for customers to access so that they may exercise their privacy rights.
Does your software company have a sales department regularly signing up new customers or a development team constantly seeking new vendors to work with your software offering? If so, having easy-to-use sales and vendor contracts drafted by software attorneys can help ensure that your growth process goes smoothly.
While Traverse Legal’s attorneys are skilled in contract drafting, we can review your software company’s preexisting contracts to provide you with feedback and suggestions. If you prefer not to “reinvent the wheel,” we can help you ensure that your current contracts are legally sound.
Our software attorneys are skilled in all areas of intellectual property law, including copyright, trademark, and patent. We can assist you with filing, defending, monitoring, enforcing, and assigning your intellectual property assets. These types of services include:
Whether the trademark should be related to online, downloadable, or cloud-based software, our trademark attorneys can help navigate the United States and Patent and Trademark (“USPTO”) and other governing body trademark offices concerning any software product or related service.
Our copyright attorneys can help advise regarding whether to pursue copyright registration and the considerations related to the same, including as it relates to open-source software.
The Traverse Legal team has vast experience with software-related mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Whether we are representing software companies, software developers, or other interested parties, we know the issues and have successfully navigated to our client’s desired outcomes before.
