For technology companies

Most of my work in technology lives at the seam between what a product actually does and what its legal documents say it does. Vendor security questionnaires, data processing addenda, AI use disclosures, IP assignments, platform terms, the FTC's "reasonable security" standard, and state privacy regimes all assume a level of fluency in software that traditional deal counsel often does not have. I treat that fluency as the table stakes, not the differentiator.

For early-stage founders, the writing here tends to focus on what to put on paper before a customer or regulator asks for it. For more mature companies, it leans toward the diligence-side risks that compound quietly until an exit forces them into the open.
