In short
Envision Legal acts for SaaS companies, IT and managed service providers, software developers and tech founders on the contracts and IP their businesses depend on — for a fixed fee agreed upfront, with senior lawyers only.
Technology businesses sell promises: uptime, security, features, support. The contracts behind those promises decide who carries the risk when something breaks. We draft, review and negotiate them nationally.
Who we act for
- SaaS and software companies — from first customer to enterprise sales.
- IT businesses and MSPs — see managed IT service providers.
- Development agencies and freelance developers — client agreements, IP and scope control.
- Vibe coders and indie builders shipping on Lovable, Replit, Base44 and similar — see lawyers for vibe coders.
- Tech founders — company setup, equity and capital raising. See startup legals.
Contracts we draft, review and negotiate
SaaS terms and subscription agreements
Online terms, order forms, enterprise SaaS agreements and service levels, compliant with the Australian Consumer Law and unfair contract terms regime. See SaaS terms of service and our SaaS agreement checklist.
Software licences and IP
Licence agreements, white-label and OEM arrangements, source-code escrow, IP assignment deeds and open-source compliance. See intellectual property.
IT services and MSP contracts
Master services agreements, SLAs, statements of work, reseller and channel partner agreements, and supplier flow-down terms.
Development agreements
Fixed-price and time-based build contracts with acceptance testing, change control and clear ownership of the code.
Privacy and data
Privacy policies, data processing terms, and handling of offshore hosting and third-party AI services under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Enterprise contract review
When a large customer sends you their paper, we mark it up — liability, indemnities, IP, data and termination — and give you negotiation notes.
Using AI to draft your tech contracts?
Plenty of founders start with an AI-drafted set of terms. That is a reasonable starting point, but a lawyer should always review it before it goes live. See AI-generated contracts and our AI contract review service.
How we work
- Fixed fees, always. Scope and fee agreed before work starts.
- Senior lawyers only.
- Commercial and plain English. Terms your customers can read.
- One business day. We respond to every enquiry within one business day.
Frequently asked questions
What does a software or SaaS lawyer do?
A technology lawyer drafts and negotiates the contracts a software business runs on — SaaS subscription terms, enterprise agreements, software licences, development and reseller agreements, data processing terms — and advises on IP ownership, privacy and consumer law.
Do you act for IT companies and managed service providers?
Yes. We prepare master services agreements, SLAs, statements of work, reseller and channel agreements, and supplier terms for MSPs, IT consultancies and integrators across Australia.
Can you review an enterprise customer's contract we've been asked to sign?
Yes — this is one of our most common requests. We focus on liability caps, indemnities, IP and data clauses, service levels and termination, and give you a marked-up draft and negotiation notes for a fixed fee.
Do you work with early-stage tech founders?
Yes. We set up companies, founder and shareholders' agreements, IP assignments, SAFEs and customer terms for pre-seed and seed founders, all on fixed fees.
