Today, astute and prudent contracting with technology partners, service providers, and other partners – whether on an inbound or outbound basis – can be both the lifeblood of a company’s commercial products and essential to unlocking the efficiency and productivity of a firm’s back-end operations.
Reed Smith’s legal team can help you integrate technology (such as cloud storage and processing services) into your business, navigate complex, strategic transactions, and manage your day-to-day procurement or sales negotiations by handling deal and RFP structuring, reviewing and redlining contracts, managing negotiation processes, and advising on key legal, compliance, and commercial risks. We negotiate deals to ensure that transactions actually close, all while working closely within our cross-practice team to put legal safeguards in place to ensure data security and privacy, prevent IP loss and misuse, and ensure your interests are protected. This doesn’t end with a signature on the contract, though, as our team stays with you to ensure that contractual provisions are met and your rights are enforced.
New kinds of deals bring new kinds of risks. The lawyers at Reed Smith recognize the risks that come with specific types of tech and outsourcing deals and respond to them in a systematic way that ensures compliance and consistency across your organization.
Reed Smith can help you navigate these business demands. We are proud to help our clients exploit groundbreaking technologies, while protecting their data and helping them comply with challenging regulations.
