Technology & SaaS Legal Services

Professional legal drafting and review services for software companies, SaaS businesses, technology startups, developers, digital platforms, and technology service providers.

Technology businesses operate through contracts that govern software development, licensing, subscriptions, cloud services, intellectual property, data protection, cybersecurity, and commercial relationships. At Tonnie Kariuki Law, we prepare and review customized technology and SaaS legal documents for startups, software companies, developers, technology service providers, digital businesses, and organizations using technology as part of their operations. Our services cover SaaS agreements, software development agreements, software licensing, API licensing, cloud services, managed services, website terms, privacy documentation, data processing agreements, artificial intelligence agreements, source code escrow arrangements, and other technology contracts. Technology, privacy, intellectual property, and data protection requirements vary depending on the transaction and applicable jurisdiction. Documents should therefore be structured around the specific circumstances of the business and transaction.
