Business law built around how companies actually operate.

Growing businesses do not always need another legal department. They often need senior counsel who can step into the business, understand its priorities and advise across decisions, transactions and risk.

PPSC works directly with founders, executives, business teams and in-house legal departments on commercial contracting, strategic transactions, technology, privacy and data, healthcare and regulatory matters, disputes and day-to-day business judgment.

PPSC works as modern counsel for businesses that need experienced legal judgment integrated into the way they actually operate.

That may mean ongoing strategic support, a complex transaction, a regulatory issue, a dispute, or a focused project where experienced judgment changes the answer.

The structure follows the work.

Contracts are where business strategy, economics and legal risk meet.

PPSC drafts, reviews, structures and negotiates sophisticated commercial agreements, including SaaS agreements, master services agreements, statements of work, licensing arrangements, technology transactions, data and privacy terms, vendor and customer agreements, professional services agreements and strategic partnerships.

Negotiation is not redlining. It requires understanding what the business actually needs, where leverage exists, which risks matter and which points are not worth losing the deal over.

PPSC helps clients work through the issues that can hold up a transaction and keep the deal moving from negotiation toward signature.

The objective is not zero risk.

It is intentional risk — and a deal the business can actually operate.

Technology transactions are business transactions with more layers.

PPSC advises on SaaS, software licensing, enterprise technology procurement, AI-enabled services, digital platforms, APIs, data rights, implementation, service levels, intellectual property, security requirements and strategic technology relationships.

The goal is not to turn every technology transaction into a theoretical risk exercise. It is to understand what the technology does, what the business needs and where the agreement creates meaningful exposure.

Privacy and data issues show up in products, contracts, marketing, analytics, artificial intelligence, vendor relationships and nearly every meaningful technology decision.

PPSC helps businesses navigate privacy strategy, data use, data-sharing arrangements, DPAs, digital privacy, vendor risk, AI contracting and governance, and the privacy and security provisions embedded in commercial relationships.

The question is rarely only whether the business can do something. The better question is often whether it should, and under what conditions.

Healthcare businesses have business problems with regulatory consequences.

PPSC advises healthcare, healthtech and other regulated businesses where commercial arrangements intersect with healthcare law, technology, privacy, data and operations.

The work may involve healthcare commercial agreements, HIPAA and HITECH, business associate agreements, health information exchange, interoperability, information blocking, digital health, privacy and security, data use and operational risk.

The legal analysis matters. So does understanding how healthcare businesses actually work.

Business relationships become adversarial. Contracts are disputed. Counterparties take positions. Regulators ask questions. Internal issues sometimes need to be investigated before anyone can decide what happens next.

PPSC helps businesses understand the facts, assess contractual and legal exposure, evaluate leverage and develop a practical strategy for moving the matter forward.

The work may include commercial and contractual disputes, pre-litigation strategy, demand and response strategy, negotiated resolutions, regulatory inquiries and investigations, subpoenas and information requests, internal investigations and litigation strategy.

PPSC brings litigation-trained judgment without treating every problem like it needs to become a lawsuit.

Legal work should benefit from the same operational discipline and technology businesses expect everywhere else.

PPSC looks for practical ways to improve contracting processes, intake, templates, playbooks, institutional knowledge, workflows and the thoughtful use of technology and AI.

Automation can reduce repetitive work. Better systems can make legal guidance easier to access and operationalize.

Efficiency is not the end goal.

The goal is to spend less time recreating work and more time applying judgment where judgment actually matters.
