Class Content

Overview

This course is designed to introduce participants to software development agreements and some of their key provisions.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Articulate the purpose, key concepts, legal principles, and practical aspects of software development agreements from both the developer’s and client’s perspectives.
  • Distinguish the various intellectual-property-rights aspects of software development agreements.
  • Identify the major commercial risks each party faces during the development process, and how to mitigate those risks in the agreement.
  • Explain the legal exposure of each party under key provisions of the agreement.

Simulation Exercise

Participants will be presented with a form software development agreement and asked to revise the agreement in accordance with a client’s concerns. In performing the exercise, participants will need to take into consideration the overall context of the proposed transaction from the perspective of the client, an online retailer seeking to commission an app with the help of a developer. Participants will also need to consider the relative bargaining power of the parties, the underlying business issues, which risks are more likely to occur and which are rare but worth anticipating.

CLE Credit

2 CLE Credits is available for each course.
