Clearview helps technology-driven businesses build strong legal foundations that protect innovation, streamline growth, and support lasting partnerships.
-
Tech businesses need to know who owns what. Clearview has advised startups and established companies on structuring IP ownership in development agreements, handling open-source licensing risks, and ensuring that founders and employees properly assign rights to protect the company’s IP.
-
Technology businesses rely on third-party vendors and partners to scale. Clearview’s helped companies negotiate cloud services agreements, technology partnership contracts, and joint development deals that clearly define ownership rights, liability, and service expectations.
-
Tech companies handle sensitive data, and their contracts need to reflect that responsibility. Clearview has drafted and negotiated data processing agreements (DPAs) and cloud service agreements to ensure compliance with Canadian privacy laws while minimizing liability in case of a breach.
-
When a tech business is acquired or raises capital, legal risks around IP and data security need to be carefully managed. Clearview has advised companies on M&A transactions, due diligence for software assets, and corporate structuring that protects founders and their interests.
-
Tech companies operate globally, and their agreements need to account for international risks. Clearview has helped businesses navigate cross-border software licensing, structure international vendor agreements, and ensure contracts reflect jurisdictional differences in IP and privacy laws.
