You build the future. We’ll manage the risk

Our clients build and deliver technology across all industries — from agritech and biotech through to regtech, medtech and consumer apps. And the products themselves are just as varied — SaaS platforms, marketplaces, AI tools, hardware, data platforms, and “hidden” technology that simply makes life easier.

But great technology on its own isn’t enough. It needs the right contracts and commercial strategy to create a compelling offering to customers, partners and investors, while managing risk. These risks can be common to most tech deals, specific to your industry, or new because the technology itself is new.

Our day job is negotiating tech deals and advising on the contracts that stand behind the commercialisation of your technology. We understand the points that are worth fighting for, and which aren’t. That means faster negotiations, and advice and contracts that are based on market standards rather than one-sided positions that protect against everything but get accepted by no-one.

Our work includes:

• advising on the terms of use for a range of marketplace platforms, including B2B and B2C, and across a range of sectors, including hospitality, international commerce, transportation, goods, and general consultancy
• licensing deals for life science and health technology
• SaaS terms of use for hundreds of NZ providers
• advising on supply agreements for payment terminals and point of sale terminals
• drafting template AI and security provisions to balance protection for both vendors and customers
• helping clients navigate international channel agreements, including reseller agreements, distribution agreements, or other partnering and teaming agreements
• working with NZ tech companies to embed their products cross-border, including into public sector agencies and multi-national institutional customers.
