Don’t Jeopardize Your Business with Bad Legal Advice!
If you are a successful senior technology executive, much of your time and attention is taken up by dealing with draft contracts and negotiating an ever-mounting array of commercial contracts. You may think you already have the necessary legal expertise on hand, but you’ll be surprised to learn that many executives are sorely unprepared when it comes to legal matters.
The simple truth is that many CEOs have great skill in managing day-to-day operations, and yet the generic legal advice most of them rely on is inadequate to spot the potholes and pitfalls that may be hiding in a technology contract. Without an experienced contract expert on hand, you could be jeopardising your business.
In this timely book, you’ll be exposed to more contract myths such as:
- It’s ok to start the project with a partner prior to negotiating the agreement
- Handshake deals among those that I trust are as good as legal documents
- A privacy policy is just a standard ‘cut and paste’, nothing we should concern ourselves with
- The use of open source code into our product has no impact or liability

A Personal Note From Alan…
If I were to take a peek at your inbox right now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see communications from outside vendors and your fellow executives on negotiating commercial contracts, along with draft copies of those contracts. Sometimes those contracts are “standard” and sometimes they may have a huge amount of leverage you could use to create significant value for your organization.
Many of the deals that come across my desk have gaping holes inside them that the executive didn’t see on his or her own. Sometimes a second opinion from outside the company can make all the difference between exposing your Intellectual Property to significant risk and ensuring its security for the long term.
This book exposes some of the myths or what I call “blind spots” that many tech executives don’t always consider when negotiating their deals – things that put them in a less-than-ideal position. I’ve seen many deals go bad, with companies struggling to put themselves back together when all they really needed in the first place was some better advice from an experienced tech lawyer.
I decided to write this book to help the industry that has been so good to me over the years… and since I’m a technology guy myself, the more good I can do for the industry, the better for everyone.
I have used Alan’s expertise several times now and have found him to always exceed my expectations. He is an expert in the technology law area and he is great to work with. His flexibility, knowledge, expertise make him a perfect service provider! I highly recommend him.
