TechLaw Atlas is designed around the way commercial legal issues emerge from real business relationships rather than presenting technology law as a list of isolated definitions.

Understand what is being sold, how revenue is generated and why the customer wants the technology.
02
Commercial Risk
Identify threats to revenue, operations, data, intellectual property, reputation and continuity.
03
Contract Structure
See how different agreements and schedules divide responsibility between the parties.
04
Negotiation
Explore why suppliers and customers often want very different wording in the same clause.
About the Project
A practical technology-law learning project.
TechLaw Atlas explores the commercial and legal structure of technology transactions, including SaaS, cloud computing, software licensing, artificial intelligence and FinTech.
The project focuses on understanding how technology businesses operate, why contracts are structured in particular ways and how legal provisions allocate commercial risk between parties.
TechLaw Atlas is an independent educational project.
