Austin Software Attorney for Software and SaaS Companies
As an Austin software attorney or law firm, we focus exclusively on representing software and SaaS companies in their contracting and commercial legal matters. Our practice is dedicated to helping technology businesses create, protect, and commercialize their software products and services through clear, plain English (many clients don’t believe that we can actually do this, but we do), and business-friendly agreements (i.e. to help sell more of your technology).
Unlike general business firms that try to cover every industry, our law practice is built entirely around software. That specialization allows us to understand the unique issues software and SaaS companies face—whether you’re a startup building your first contract templates or an established enterprise managing complex partner relationships.
We help clients with a full range of software and SaaS agreements, including:
-
License Agreements – Protecting your intellectual property while giving customers flexibility to use your software appropriately.
-
SaaS Agreements – Covering uptime, data security, service levels, and subscription terms to support recurring revenue and customer trust.
-
OEM and Reseller Agreements – Expanding your distribution footprint through embedded software and resale partnerships.
-
Referral and Channel Partner Agreements – Structuring relationships that reward partners while limiting risk.
-
Software Development and Consulting Agreements – Clearly defining deliverables, ownership, and payments to avoid disputes.
Every document is customized to your company’s business model, but informed by what we’ve learned from years of working with software companies throughout Austin and across the country.
Plain-English Contracts That Move Deals Forward
A big part of what sets us apart as an Austin software lawyer is how we draft contracts—in plain English.
Our agreements are clear, readable, and easy for both business and technical teams to understand. That clarity often shortens the sales cycle and makes it easier for customers to sign without getting bogged down in legalese.
Drafting agreements that are both simple and protective isn’t easy. It requires deep experience with software licensing, cloud hosting, and intellectual property law. But for our clients, the result is a genuine competitive advantage: faster deals, fewer misunderstandings, and more confident negotiations.
Common Challenges, Practical Solutions
Because we work exclusively with software and SaaS companies, we’ve seen the same pain points arise again and again—data ownership, uptime and SLAs, IP rights in custom code, confidentiality, and limitation of liability. As an experienced Austin software attorney or Austin software law firm, I’ve developed proven solutions for these recurring issues that balance strong legal protection with business efficiency.
Instead of starting from scratch for each engagement, we apply refined templates and best practices, then tailor them to fit your specific business and customer base. The result: legally sound, commercially realistic agreements that scale as you grow.
Why Austin Software Companies Choose Us
Austin has become a hub for software innovation, from fast-growing startups to established enterprise vendors. As local counsel, we understand the fast-moving environment and the expectations of software founders, investors, and in-house legal teams.
Clients choose our firm because plain English contracts really help our clients sell more!. We also respond quickly (as we are not doing M&A, litigation, etc) and always keep your commercial goals our focus. Whether you’re negotiating enterprise SaaS deals, onboarding resellers, or protecting your source code, having an Austin software lawyer or attorney who understands the business side of software makes a difference.
