Specialization in international operations
We are not a generalist firm. We only work with companies that operate with foreign parties. We understand the real risks of signing contracts under different laws, languages, and jurisdictions.

We don't fill out forms. We analyze each transaction, drafting from scratch or correcting existing ones, so that the contract meets your specific needs, interests, and timeframe.

Our approach is practical: avoiding future problems. We focus on critical areas like jurisdiction, payment methods, compliance, and penalties, so that if something goes wrong, you know what to do.

Types of international technology contracts
International SaaS Contract
Clear contracts to sell your SaaS outside of Spain without hindering growth: subscription, SLA, support, payments, liability limits, and data processing. Designed so you can sign with confidence and scale.
International Software License
We structure licenses (on-premise, OEM, or embedded) to monetize your technology in different countries without losing control over your IP. We define scope, restrictions, sublicenses, royalties, and conflict-free exit.
Software Development Contract
We ensure that third-party development (software, AI, or data) is clearly defined and under your control: deliverables, milestones, acceptance, warranties, and ownership of the code/results. Avoid vendor dependency.
Agreement with Technology Partner
Agreements for integrations, resellers, and international alliances with clear operational and commercial rules. We define roles, revenue share, customer attribution, support, and risk-free termination for your business.
Transfer Agreement
Designed to license or transfer technology (IP and know-how) without compromising the future value of the product. We define what is transferred, terms of use, quality control, improvements, and confidentiality protection.
What elements should an international contract have?

Intellectual property (IP) and monetization: what is protected
We clearly define what is yours (code, models, data, documentation, and improvements) and exactly what rights you are relinquishing. This protects your IP and ensures that your monetization (licenses, usage, royalties, upsells) is not open to interpretation.

Responsibilities, SLA and limitation of liability (without ambiguity)
We define the level of service you provide, what support/maintenance includes, and what happens in case of incidents. And most importantly: clear limits of liability so that an operational problem doesn't become a disproportionate risk.

Payments, renewal and orderly exit (termination and transition)
We define how payments are collected, when renewals occur, what happens in case of non-payment, and how the contract is terminated without disrupting business. We include transition rules (access, data, continuity) to avoid friction when the agreement ends.

Country, applicable law and jurisdiction: how to decide without complicating things
We choose the combination that offers you the greatest security and enforceability based on country, client type, and risk (courts or arbitration). The goal is to provide you with a realistic and efficient path to resolve any disputes.
Typical cases (what's really happening to you)
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you're at the exact point where a "generic" contract starts to pose a risk. Here are the most common cases for tech companies with their own products when entering the international market:

Selling SaaS to customers in LATAM / EU /
UK / USA

License software to a foreign integrator or distributor

Development with an external provider and doubts about code ownership

International partner for integration, reselling, or revenue sharing
Frequently Asked Questions About International Technology Contracts
Common questions companies have before signing an international technology contract:
How do I make a contract signed in Spain valid and enforceable in another country?
You must include clauses that clearly define the applicable law (for example, Spanish), the jurisdiction or chosen arbitration, and ensure that this decision is recognized in foreign courts.
Can I complain if I don't get paid and the client is in another country?
Yes, as long as the contract provides for a specific forum or arbitration. With this clause, you can enforce a judgment or award outside of Spain without relying solely on the client's voluntary compliance.
I have a SaaS business and clients in multiple countries. How do I apply the GDPR to those contracts?
A GDPR clause is introduced, defining who is responsible and who is treatment manager, and the following are added Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the EU for data transfers outside the European Economic Area.
What happens if the contract is in English but the Spanish supplier signs in Spanish?

What should an international R&D contract for technological projects include?
A cast of intellectual property, delivery times, cost allocation, confidentiality and dispute resolution or early exit clauses.
Can I protect my intellectual property in multiple countries with a single contract?
Yes, as long as you include clauses of license, who the owner is, what rights are transferred, and where. You can also define territorial boundaries and usage modalities.
What should you do if a foreign supplier defaults and fails to meet deadlines or payments?
With well-defined penalty and early termination clauses, steps can be activated (formal letters, termination for breach) and the legal process can be triggered in the agreed-upon forum.
What if I already signed a contract without any of these clauses?
It can be reviewed and add an “addendum” with clauses governing law, jurisdiction, and penalties, always by mutual agreement. If you disagree, we work from the agreement and assess the actual risks based on the existing content.
