Services, subscriptions and technical collaborations
The objectives of a technology project sometimes evolve faster than the documents that govern it.
Developing a technology business relies on collaboration between founders, customers, developers, service providers and partners.
The firm acts on the contractual framework and commercial disputes: definition of services, acceptance testing, maintenance, liability, confidentiality and exit conditions.
Who we work with
- Founders, start-ups and technology companies: contracts, relationships between partners and commercial development.
- Software publishers and platform operators: offers, subscriptions, services and customer relationships.
- Agencies, integrators and digital service providers: scope of engagements, deliverables, acceptance testing and maintenance.
- Investors and partners: organising governance, information and anticipating disagreements.
- 01
Defining the service and its stages
Comparing the specification, the contract, the schedules and the timetable. Deliverables, approvals, changes in scope and liability are examined to organise the collaboration around shared reference points.
- 02
Structuring recurring relationships
Commercial terms, subscriptions, associated services and partnerships: examining the documents used day to day and the renewal arrangements. The aim is to identify gaps between the contractual model and the offer actually provided.
- 03
Preparing for changes or difficulties
A project that changes, a disputed delivery or a relationship that ends requires the commitments to be reread. The firm assists with reviewing the documents and preparing the discussions or the dispute within the scope entrusted to it.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
When should the contracts for an offer be reviewed?
Before they are rolled out or when the service changes significantly. The commercial documents and the way the service operates form the basis of the analysis.
Is a specification enough to prepare a contract?
It is an important document, to be read together with the financial terms, timetable, approvals and intended liability. The firm specifies what needs to be added.
Which documents should be prepared if a service is disputed?
The contract, the specification, versions of the deliverables, approvals and correspondence. A chronology helps to understand how the project evolved and the points of disagreement.
Can ongoing support be arranged as the project develops?
The need may be one-off or recurring. The scope, the frequency of exchanges and the fee arrangements are defined with the firm.
