The Technology Contract Review Process
When presented with a contract from a potential technology customer or provider, many companies are tempted to just sign it, and go forward quickly to the business of providing or obtaining the product or service. This is usually a mistake, sometimes a very costly one. Agreements written by one party are generally quite protective of that party's interests in subtle or not so subtle ways. It's not enough to simply "check the pricing" and assume that everything else is fine, In addition, even with the best of intentions, the different parties to a transaction may have very different visions of the deal into which they are entering, and the contract presented by one party will reflect the understanding of that party only. The process of reviewing a contract presented will is in the best interest of all parties to take the time to articulate carefully the desired terms of the contract, establishing an agreement and relationship with a long life. Attorney Malkin will take the following steps to ensure you get a concise contract that accurately reflects your expectations:
- Consult: She will take the time to consult with the client to find out exactly what the product or service is and how the client plans on providing or obtaining it.

- Analyze: Rachel E. Malkin will provide a thorough analysis of the business needs and the company capabilities.
- Prepare: She will prepare a proposed contract draft or draft revision, including questions in the draft to be sure the client understands the rights and liabilities given or withheld in the document.
