PRACTICE SUMMARY FOR TANNENBAUM HELPERN SYRACUSE & HIRSCHTRITT’S TECHNOLOGY, OUTSOURCING & TELECOMMINCATIONS PRACTICE GROUP
Practicing technology law requires an ability to apply today’s legal concepts to tomorrow’s emerging technologies. At Tannenbaum Helpern, we have attorneys with many decades of experience in the art of negotiating technology, telecommunication, and outsourcing contracts and representing buyers and sellers in the development, purchase, sale, and licensing of technology. Our attorneys have experience negotiating and drafting simple and complex technology, telecommunication, and outsourcing related deals dating back to the early 1980s. We build our deals on our love of technology, solid legal experience, and excellent negotiation and communications skills.
We counsel companies of all sizes on their transactions, from start-up companies to Fortune 100 companies. We understand the norms of the industry and have the experience to focus on the parts of the deal that will matter to your business. We want our clients to succeed and we take that desire to the negotiating table. Your company’s contracts should be assets, not traps for the unwary.
Technology deals are often big budget items for our clients, but they can also be the area in which clients have the least knowledge since these transactions are outside the client’s core competency. We assist our clients throughout the procurement process and continuing throughout the life of the deal. We help our clients turn standard one-sided vendor forms to our client’s advantage through strong negotiations and years of experience on both sides of technology, telecommunication, and outsourcing transactions.
Clients considering outsourcing some of their technology or business process needs to another company require the help of our experienced negotiators to get things right the first time. Outsourcing deals are complicated and clients should involve experienced attorneys early in the process. You do not want the cost of your education to be a failed project. Including our attorneys as part of your outsourcing team early can help increase efficiency and improve service while saving money.
Our lawyers also advise clients on a variety of Internet and E-commerce related legal issues including online transactions and contracts, licensing agreements, regulatory compliance, privacy issues, clickwrap, browsewrap, and webwrap agreements.Whether you are a customer or a vendor, we can assist you with your negotiation and contracting needs.
It is our job, and our art to negotiate and build solid contracts for our clients while minimizing their exposure. We pride ourselves on providing unprecedented legal and business advice focused on our client’s corporate objectives. Our firm approaches the practice of law from a different perspective—we are not the “stuffy lawyers who tell you what your company can’t do.” We are the lawyers who find the best approach for the deals your company will do.
