Software Licensing Contracts - Practical Tips & Risk Mitigation

Introduction

Software licensing presents unique considerations for both suppliers and customers in negotiations.

An effective software licensing contract will protect a supplier's rights and restrict usage and distribution, whilst balancing the customer's interests and providing effective remedies should issues arise. Practitioners need to consider how these aspects and the associated risk factors have evolved as companies move away from the provision of traditional on-site software to software-as-a-service.

The aim of this virtual classroom seminar is to provide practical tips on what you should look out for and how to mitigate potential risks when drafting and negotiating software licensing contracts, whether from a supplier or customer perspective.

The live session will focus on B2B transactions and is relevant for practitioners across the UK and further afield as the session will cover issues common to most jurisdictions.
