Contracts
Negotiating and drafting contracts that stand the test of time
IT contracts, commercial agreements and the use of intellectual property shape a company's business relationships. LAWINT advises on negotiation strategy and drafting, with a focus on putting commitments into practice.
Reflect the business model
The scope, payment terms, rights, responsibilities and exit arrangements must reflect the actual project and the risks accepted by each party.
Support the negotiations
The firm prepares negotiating positions, drafts or reviews documents and supports discussions with counterparties, in France or internationally depending on the matter.
Software, SaaS, cloud, IT services or an AI solution: an effective contract must describe the service, dependencies and each party's responsibilities. LAWINT assists procurement teams, CIOs, in-house legal teams and suppliers with drafting and negotiation.
Negotiate the key terms
The scope, service levels, changes, security, data, exit and transition arrangements, intellectual property and liability are assessed against the intended uses and the parties' bargaining positions.
Cover the full lifecycle
Licences, general terms and conditions, data processing agreements (DPAs), and the development and operation of solutions, including agentic AI, are addressed according to the business model and the parties' roles.
IT contracts
Commercial contracts
Distribution, partnerships, services, supply or confidentiality: each commercial relationship has its own obligations and risks. LAWINT helps turn the business model into clear, negotiable and workable agreements.
Define the relationship
Objectives, exclusivity, pricing, duration, performance indicators, warranties and termination terms must be considered together to avoid ambiguity during performance.
Draft and negotiate
The firm advises on supplier, service provider and distribution contracts, partnership agreements and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), taking account of the issues and jurisdictions involved.
A creative work, software, trade mark or content may be developed, assigned, licensed or exploited with several partners. LAWINT helps clarify each party's rights so that future use does not depend on an imprecise clause.
Identify the rights involved
Ownership, contributions, pre-existing rights, territory, duration, permitted uses and payment are assessed in the context of the actual project.
Document how the rights will be used
Commissioning agreements, licences and joint ownership agreements are structured to govern rights, future developments and the handling of potential disputes.
