You are truly a business when you can sell or provide a service to a paying customer.
Otherwise, it's just a hobby.
Having said that, getting into a technology business means that it is full of technical specifications, jargon and market behaviours that may not be available in other industries.
Problem is, that not all software developers, engineers or even UI designers are trained in the art of securing a sale or speaking the business lingo.
Whereas not every Ali Muthu and Ah Chong can understand the language (in some cases behaviours haha) of tech aficionados and experts.
This is where lawyers come in.
We help to fill the language gap by ensuring that the technology provider party providing the services or products is clear with the requirement of the customer and the customer is clear in terms of the payment milestone, representation and warranty given by the service providers.
In other words tech lawyers assist to manage the expectation of both sides in a clear, transparent and understandable format accessible to both parties.
Us tech lawyers have a few arsenals in our sleeves.
Among these would be the usual agreements, terms and principles to govern the relationship.
