IT Contracts: Learning the Hard Way

Technology Solicitors: Tech as a Service Contracts

"We tried 2 glossy law firms both were very good at the initial introduction.

When it came to crunch the contract was dealt with by junior, lesser experienced employees and as such I got something that was not fit for purposes – leaving me to do the work to correct it and guide them. So, yes, they may have been cheaper than some others, but what about when you add in my time and effort – it turned out to be a false economy.

Our experience with Hall Ellis lawyers was totally different. We got what you’d expect from a focused boutique tech law firm. Tailored technology contracts customised for our business. They knew that we needed something that was not uniform or standard. They fixed what we had and made it work like it should have in the first place.

Now we have a structured contract that we re-use again and again.

Leigh’s tech knowledge is way above your average solicitor. He can focus on the bits that matter rather than try and just understand what I’m talking about. It’s a better way to get tech legal advice.

They got right the first time."

Full-Service Managed Solutions Provider

Terms and Conditions Contract: Renovation

"We’re a full-service managed solutions provider. We had been using our old contract for years. It started off well, but became difficult to manage from customer to customer as we grew this led to us having to make fine-tuned adjustments all the time. It was just taking too long to get the contract right for each client.

Since getting our new service provider contract, we’ve seen a reduction of about 30% of the time to get from sale to agreement, along with less friction from the customer with better, broad based protection for the business. The improved efficiency we now achieve in negotiations has been a great investment in our business and client sales."
