The Art and Science of Negotiating Technology Deals

Mark Grossman, Attorney and Author

Technology-related deals raise many complex legal and business issues that need to be thoroughly negotiated and documented in your agreements. From complex software licensing to outsourcing to the Internet, tech deals have their own customs, usages, and norms. In this course, Mark Grossman will give you an insight into the real language he’s used in real deals. What are the norms in the industry? What concessions should you expect? How technical must a tech contract be? The discussion will include intellectual property, licensing, warranties, limitations of liability, performance standards, acceptance testing procedures and change orders, to name a few. You will find these issues arising in all types of deals including those that involve software, the Internet, telecommunications, and Application Service Providers (ASPs).

In this seminar, you will learn

Nine key provisions you need in every technology outsourcing contract.
How a limitation of liability clause can emasculate your agreement.
How intellectual property provisions in your agreements can be a trap for the unwary.
Eight negotiating techniques guaranteed to work every time.
Six ways to keep your technology contracts out of court.
How to negotiate a technology agreement that simply communicates your deal so that the parties have nothing to fight about.”
