I will draft a US software development agreement by a licensed lawyer
Ironclad Legal Agreements by a Licensed US Tech Attorney
About this Gig
Whether you are a developer building software for a client, or a business hiring an agency to build your app, a precise Software Development Agreement (SDA) is mandatory.
Without it, you risk scope creep, unpaid invoices, or losing ownership of your own source code.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #175575), I draft SDAs that clearly define project boundaries, secure payments, and ensure proper transfer of Intellectual Property (IP).
What this Gig covers:
- Scope of Work & Deliverables
- Milestone Schedules & Payment Terms
- Change Order Procedures (Preventing Scope Creep)
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment & Work for Hire
- Confidentiality (NDA)
- Testing, Acceptance, and Warranties
An airtight SDA prevents disputes before they happen.
Whether working Agile or Waterfall, I will draft a contract that reflects your workflow and protects your bottom line.
