Overview
We provide expert legal counsel for software developers offering Internet-based services and applications for free, sale, or licensed use. We assist clients in addressing various legal challenges related to software licensing, data privacy, intellectual property, and contractual agreements.
Given the diverse range of software applications, contract negotiations are particularly critical in tailoring services to meet customer needs. Our attorneys provide expert advice on developing custom contracts to manage risks, foster business development, and ensure the success of our clients’ projects.
Data privacy is a significant responsibility for software providers, governed by multiple federal, state, and international laws, including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), HIPAA, and the EU Directive on Data Protection (Directive 95/46/EC). Our experienced attorneys help clients maintain compliant privacy policies and protect customer privacy by preventing the unlawful disclosure and use of personally identifiable information (PII).
With our deep understanding of the transformative impact of Internet-based services and software applications, we are dedicated to guiding clients through complex legal and regulatory challenges while protecting their interests and maximizing the potential of their digital investments.
