Technology Projects and Transactions

Now more than ever, business leaders are attuned to the value and power of technology in their organizations. In this innovation economy, the opportunities are significant – and so are the threats. 

During the pandemic, many businesses discovered the limits of their technical infrastructure. It was dated, open to cyberattacks and couldn’t handle remote work or e-commerce. Now businesses are leveraging technology to digitize their business approach, empowering employees to work remotely and allowing customers to order products and services electronically.

Regardless of your industry or the size of your organization, from early or growth stage to mature operations, asking the right questions can help you manage risks and maximize the value of the technology your business uses or creates.

Digital Transformation

Many organizations are looking at ways of transforming their business to take advantage of new technology and new ways of doing business. This can include the use of cloud computing and SaaS options, as well as new and innovative ways of using technology to reach current and new customers.  

With a wealth of experience in these types of projects, our team knows what to expect from third-party suppliers and what to push for to make a project successful. We can help you with procurement, contracting and privacy issues associated with your digital transformation. We can also help with the planning process to get you on the right track in structuring the project and the procurement. Many of these projects can be overbudget and delayed. We recommend using a staged procurement and contracting strategy that will help with cost control and ensure you will keep control of your project. This approach also ensures the selected supplier continues to earn your business throughout the life of the project and afterwards.  

Licensing or Accessing Third-Party Software

We help your organization get the most out of your IT solutions and suppliers. With educational and professional backgrounds in the IT industry and related fields, our lawyers understand the unique interaction of technology and the law.  

Services include: 

  • Licensing and subscription agreements 
  • Cloud computing 
  • Software development and implementation agreements 
  • Software maintenance and support agreements 
  • Source code escrow agreements 
  • Hardware purchase and maintenance agreements 
  • Service bureau and data centre agreements 
  • Marketing and distribution agreements 
  • Project reviews and rescues 
  • E-commerce initiatives  

When it comes to contract drafting, review and negotiation, our aim is creating lasting, successful relationships between your organization and your technology providers – while also protecting your interests. We focus on developing flexible arrangements that allow for growth and changes and that defend against price gouging.  

We work with entities of all sizes and from all sectors. 


Download the Risk Management Checklist to ensure your organization is asking the right questions when it comes to data, technology and innovation matters.
