Tailored software agreements

Tailored software agreements

We draft SaaS agreements, developer and contractor contracts, licensing terms and NDAs that reflect product workflows and deployment models. Contracts are written to reduce negotiation cycles, clarify responsibilities for uptime, support and security, and include practical IP and indemnity clauses suited for startups and scale-ups operating in Singapore and regional markets.

PDPA & data protection for products

PDPA & data protection for products

Data protection obligations shape product design and vendor choices. We assess data flows, prepare privacy notices and processor agreements, and propose pragmatic controls for collection, storage and cross-border transfers so your product roadmap remains compliant with Singapore's PDPA while staying operationally efficient.

IP strategy that preserves value

IP strategy that preserves value

Protecting source code, algorithms and user-facing features requires a mix of contractual controls and internal process design. We help you capture ownership in hiring and contractor agreements, structure licensing for modular products, and prepare documentation that supports valuation in funding rounds.
