A significant focus of our technology practice is representing middle-market and larger enterprises (including financial institutions and large multinationals), larger nonprofits (including health care providers and universities) and government entities in the structuring and negotiation of significant transactions involving the acquisition of technology products and services.

Since large technology transactions are a relatively rare event for the customer, our industry knowledge and transaction experience provide significant value and can "level the playing field" with experienced vendor business negotiators and legal counsel. Our capabilities are particularly valuable because many large technology transactions are mission critical and highly visible. We also provide leadership and guidance in dealing with the sometimes conflicting needs and wants of the customer’s internal and external stakeholders.

The specific technology transactions we handle for customer-side clients include:

• Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO)
• Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
• Systems Integration Agreements
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Agreements
• Software Licensing and Support/Maintenance Agreements
• Software Development Agreements
• Patent and Technology Licensing
• Telecommunications Transactions
• Internet/E-Commerce Agreements

We also provide in-depth guidance on privacy, data security and related compliance issues through our Privacy, Data Security and E-Commerce and HIPAA practice areas.
