Technology, Software, & SaaS

We’re technology lawyers. From hard tech to deep tech to software and software-as-a-service (SaaS), we partner with technology companies at every stage of growth. If your business is building, scaling, or commercializing technology, we can support your team.

For more than 20 years, the team at KO has helped technology companies thrive through legal counsel that’s rooted in a deep understanding of how innovative products are built, sold, licensed, and scaled. Our experienced attorneys help emerging and established companies across the tech ecosystem —software, SaaS, AI, hardware-enabled platforms, and deep tech—make smart, strategic business decisions that drive growth.

Drawing on decades of experience, KO attorneys apply industry best practices to navigate the challenges of drafting and negotiating a wide range of technology agreements quickly and easily. We regularly advise on data licenses, SaaS contracts, development and commercialization agreements, platform and API terms, and complex technology partnerships. We help clients implement online agreements, add flexibility through the use of master service agreements, structure service and product offerings, and establish operating parameters that are commercially practical and sustainable in modern market conditions—while protecting against compliance and business risks.

In the hard tech and deep tech spaces, we advise companies commercializing proprietary technology, hardware-enabled platforms, and research-driven innovations. This includes navigating complex development relationships, manufacturing and supply chain considerations, IP ownership and licensing, joint ventures, pilot programs, and enterprise customer deployments—often where software, hardware, and data intersect.

The technology and software ecosystem can generally be grouped into several categories:

• License-based, including on-premise solutions and open source software, often supported by implementation, maintenance, and support services
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions and platforms, delivered via remote access and subscription models
• Technology development and engineering services, including custom software and integrated solutions
• Technology consulting, data, and information services

We’ve helped thousands of entrepreneurs and startups because we understand how technology businesses evolve and how a company’s stage of growth impacts its compliance and commercial needs. From agreements that shape pricing and revenue models, to creating Master Service Agreements, order forms, enterprise contracts, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), we provide the legal framework that clients need to build durable, long term customer relationships.

Our team is a frequent presenter and attendee at technology, SaaS, and software industry events, organizations and conferences, and we’re a sought-after resource for industry blogs, podcasts and other news sources.

KO’s extensive knowledge working with emerging and high-growth technology companies gives us an unmatched understanding of the legal matters that impact your businesses. We specialize in helping businesses navigate and address matters in a practical and efficient way to support business results.
