Legal Infrastructure for Companies That Are Actually Building Things

Modern companies don’t fail because they lack ideas. They fail because the legal foundation can’t keep pace with product complexity, growth, or regulatory exposure.

LANGAN, PLLC works with technology companies, startups, scaling businesses, corporations, funds, and foundations to design and negotiate the legal infrastructure that sits at the core of how they build, sell, and scale—without slowing momentum or over-lawyering the business.

This is legal support for teams that need to move fast and get it right. We help founders and operators translate business strategy into clear, scalable agreements across four critical areas.

Product & Technology

When your product is the company, the contracts must protect IP while enabling adoption and growth.

We advise on:

  • SaaS and software licensing

  • API and developer agreements

  • IP licensing and open-source strategy

The objective is flexibility without losing control of what matters most.

Go-To-Market & Revenue

Revenue breaks when contracts don’t reflect how sales actually happen.

We structure and negotiate:

  • Master Services Agreements (MSAs) and Statements of Work (SOWs)

  • Strategic partnerships, resellers, and channel agreements

  • Marketplace and platform agreements

These are contracts designed for speed, repeatability, and real-world use by sales and ops teams.

Data, Privacy & AI

Data is both an asset and a liability—and AI raises the stakes further.

LANGAN, PLLC counses on:

  • GDPR and UK data protection agreements and cross-border transfers

  • AI data rights, training data use, and model governance

  • Privacy policies, security addenda, and customer-facing compliance artifacts

The focus is enabling innovation while staying credible with customers, investors, and regulators.

Founders, Employees & Investors

Growth depends on aligned incentives and clean structures.

We support:

  • Founder and advisor equity arrangements

  • Employment and independent contractor agreements

  • SAFEs, convertible notes, and early-stage equity financings

The goal is to keep deals moving while avoiding problems that surface later.

Business First, Documents Second

Before drafting or negotiating anything, LANGAN, PLLC focuses on understanding:

  • what you’re building,

  • how you plan to make money,

  • what actually matters at your stage, and

  • where the real risk is (and where it isn’t).

The result is not a “perfect” contract—it’s the right contract for now, with room to scale.

Speed, Clarity, and Tradeoffs

Legal should not be the bottleneck.

You can expect:

  • direct, practical advice in plain English,

  • fast turnarounds when timing matters,

  • risk explained clearly—not exaggerated, and

  • contracts that your teams can actually use.

If something doesn’t matter, we’ll say so. If it does,we’ll explain why.

Legal That Scales With You

Early-stage companies don’t need a full legal department—but they do need senior judgment.

We work as:

  • an extension of the founding team,

  • fractional or on-call counsel as needed, and

  • a steady hand as you move from first customers to institutional capital.

If you are building or operating a technology-driven business LANGAN, PLLC offers:

  • pragmatic, business-first legal advice,

  • contracts that support growth rather than slow it down,

  • experience across startups, Big Tech, and international operations, and

  • flexible engagement models—project-based or ongoing.

This is legal work designed to help you ship product, close deals, and grow—without creating problems you’ll have to unwind later.
