Attorneys who build technology

Technology and Software

Our attorneys build AI-powered applications and own a SaaS company — so we understand modern software from the inside. That hands-on experience makes a difference when advising on AI governance, negotiating SaaS agreements, or resolving software disputes.

AI & Machine Learning Governance

We advise companies on responsible AI implementation, including enterprise AI usage policies, vendor contract evaluation, regulatory compliance, and governance frameworks for generative AI deployment. At an international consulting firm, our attorneys developed GenAI usage guidelines, advised cross-functional teams on the legal implications of AI tools in software development, and created compliance training programs. Illinois has been at the forefront of AI regulation, including the Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (820 ILCS 42) and amendments to the Illinois Human Rights Act addressing AI in employment decisions.

SaaS & Software Agreements

We draft, review, and negotiate the full range of software transactions: SaaS subscription agreements, master service agreements, SLAs, data processing addenda, reseller agreements, and development contracts. At an international consulting firm, our attorneys negotiated enterprise SaaS and installed software agreements with global pharmaceutical and tech companies.

Software Disputes

When software projects go wrong, the disputes are often technically complex. We handle claims involving IP ownership of custom-developed software, source code escrow disputes, API and integration failures, and breach of warranty claims.

Open Source Compliance

Open source software powers modern development, but license obligations can create significant legal risk. We help companies audit their open-source usage, develop compliant FOSS policies, assess GPL/AGPL exposure, and structure releases to meet license requirements.
