Outside general counsel for scaling technology companies
Experienced corporate counsel for SaaS, AI, and MedTech companies, without a full-time legal hire.
Sound familiar?
- Contracts, hires, and partnerships are moving faster than your ad hoc legal setup can keep up with.
- You have capable people and outside counsel, but legal decisions that cross teams still come back to you.
- You are not ready for a full-time general counsel, but you need that kind of judgment every week.
- A bigger deal is coming (a strategic partnership, venture debt facility, or acquisition), and you want counsel who already knows the company.
Customers are demanding more, investors are circling, and your stretched-thin team is looking to you to lead through what's next. Too many legal decisions still land on your desk. Companies like yours are who our firm was built to serve.
Your legal partner on speed dial
Need stock option agreements prepared, or input on the number of shares for a grant to a C-level hire? Input on a proposed term sheet or a vendor proposal? A company sale waterfall prepared? Documents for a customer referral program or a board of advisors? Input on a business model change? Or a sounding board for how to position a deal with an investor or strategic partner? These are the kinds of questions and requests we get every week.
AlphaTech Subscription Counsel is outside general counsel on a subscription: regular strategy calls, Q&A support, identified routine matters, and the occasional project, all for one flat quarterly rate instead of runaway hourly time. We tailor subscriptions for selected clients that meet certain criteria. When you need fractional GC leadership, your subscription can also include setting legal priorities and coordinating work with your team and other outside counsel. Legal issues are surfaced and resolved early, and we build institutional knowledge over time that better positions our clients for their signature deals.
Focused on technology-enabled companies
We represent emerging companies across the United States, primarily in technology-enabled industries. That's it. Our clients include healthcare IT, medical device (MedTech), therapeutics, advanced materials, SaaS and other software, mobile, and fintech companies, including companies building AI-enabled products.
Commercial
SaaS agreements, software and AI licenses, reseller, supply, and distribution agreements, joint development, and form commercial agreements.
Life sciences
University and research institution technology transfer, clinical trial agreements, sponsored research and collaborations, material transfer agreements, and contract research and manufacturing arrangements.
Privacy, data, and technology
Privacy policies and terms of service, data processing and data licensing agreements, customer privacy and security requirements, HIPAA business associate agreements, and open source compliance.
Corporate
Equity incentives, governance, venture debt and other financings, contract management and process, and business model development.
When the big deal arrives
When you are navigating a major transaction (a priced financing round, venture debt facility, acquisition, strategic partnership, joint development, or company sale), we bring experience, judgment, and deal leadership to help get it done. Combined with Subscription Counsel, we already know your priorities, preferences, and goals, so we can get your signature deals inked more efficiently and effectively.
Is AlphaTech a fit?
We work with only a select group of scaling companies, and our model is not right for everyone.
We are likely a good fit if you:
- lead a technology-enabled company with a scalable business model and real traction;
- need regular technology company counsel but are not ready for a full-time legal hire; and
- value a long-term relationship with a team that knows your business.
You want to scale? We get shit done.
