Commercial Contracts & SaaS
Contracts are business tools. They allocate risk, set expectations, and determine what happens when the relationship changes.
PPSC approaches commercial contracts and SaaS agreements as commercial decisions, not academic exercises. The goal is usually to get the deal done, with risk allocated in a way the business can actually live with.

Beyond enforceability
A contract that gets signed is not the same as a contract that works. The analysis extends past enforceability to scope, economics, ownership, data rights, implementation, performance expectations, risk allocation, indemnification, liability, termination, and what happens when the relationship changes.
PPSC approaches contracts as operating documents, not just legal ones. The people responsible for implementing the agreement have to be able to live with it.
Negotiation strategy
Negotiation is where commercial judgment meets legal risk. PPSC brings a litigation-informed perspective to how agreements will actually operate, where ambiguity can become conflict and where leverage really matters.
The objective is practical: protect what matters, concede what does not and keep the deal moving.
