Information Technology & Software

Archer provides comprehensive legal advice and services to software and technology clients on all matters relevant to running a technology business.  Our intellectual property team helps software and technology companies obtain patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property protections. For clients licensing intellectual property to third parties to produce or sell their technology, Archer also assists in drafting licensing agreements and contracts with resellers and licensees.

Financing is often a challenge for start-up companies. Our attorneys help clients understand financing offers and assist in transactions related to various types of alternative financing for start-ups, including venture capital and angel investments.

We also help software and technology companies comply with state and local government requirements for the use and production of technology products and for the production and distribution of software products. Regulations govern many issues, including environmental concerns when producing or disposing of products, as well as advertising and consumer protection regulations.  Understanding your regulatory compliance obligations is essential to operating a successful technology and software company.
