Our Corporate & Commercial Work

Having worked with pioneers in the technology industry, and having been through booms and busts with them, we at Wave Law® know what sustainable and agile technology businesses need from their business and commercial legal advisors. We have been strategic legal advisors when two founders got together with their business plan; when a growing venture-capital backed company got its first venture financing and its first major customer contract; and also when a publicly-held company vetted an acquisition target in a newly-formed sector of the tech economy — in each case, as the client needed sound advice on the corporate, IP and commercial legal underpinnings of the matters they were contemplating. And when you are looking to make your first commercial sales, we will guide you through the laws governing sales, warranties, and liability limitations so that you can focus on your business. We have also handled virtually every kind of commercial contract that a growing business would encounter — such as sales and distribution agreements, services agreements, loan agreements, leases, and marketing and promotion agreements.

We have also represented mature technology clients and non-technology clients on a broad range of corporate matters and commercial transactional matters, working with and advising senior management, boards of directors and members of business teams at all levels on significant transactions and day-to-day general legal matters, such as capital transactions, corporate governance, compliance, corporate policies and procedures, equity compensation, and other general corporate agreements and matters.
