- German saying |
The internet transaction or, as some say, e-commerce is the future of transactions. In a world where entrepreneurs strike million dollar deals over the phone and “ink” them via instant messaging, we know that business transaction lawyers are often seen as unnecessary.
But eventually a deal will go sour. And when it does, it may eliminate all of your hard-earned profits. You may be forced to cut your staff and consider dissolving your company. At a minimum, if you choose to fight, you will be forced to hire a litigation attorney to make your case and the litigation fees can be astronomical.
We think that it is smarter to spend some time and resources on the front end of the transaction process. This leads to fully-informed decision making, better contract language and realistic exit strategies.
Our internet transaction philosophy is pretty simple. We assist the internet business client in developing contract terms that are clear and concise. Yet comprehensive enough to avoid unnecessary business disputes. That said, we are experienced in providing advice and drafting expertise with respect to most internet business transactions, including the following:
- Web advertising agreements.
- Internet service agreements.
- Independent contractor arrangements.
- Intellectual property licensing agreements.
- Terms and conditions of sale agreements.
- Business purchase transactions.
- Joint venture and strategic alliance documentation.
- Letters of intent, terms sheets and MOUs.
- Web linking agreements.
- Publisher agreements.
- Business referral agreements.
