Practice Areas & Firm Services
Focus Point Law serves as embedded General Counsel for high-growth technology and media companies navigating complex legal terrain.
Our Focus Point is practical, business-minded advice across every phase of your organization’s growth.
Practice Areas:
-
We advise on the legal, operational, and ethical dimensions of AI and emerging technologies, with a focus on scalable compliance, strategic risk mitigation, product licensing and navigating evolving regulatory frameworks.
-
We deliver deep expertise in structuring and negotiating complex commercial transactions that drive growth, mitigate risk, and align with business priorities. From SaaS agreements and technology licenses to partner agreements and strategic alliances, we close deals quickly and efficiently.
-
We advise high-growth companies on the design and implementation of data governance, privacy compliance, and security protocols that scale with product velocity and regulatory complexity.
From structuring cross-border data flows and negotiating DPA terms to operationalizing frameworks under Data Privacy Framework, GDPR, CCPA, and emerging AI regulations, we advise using a proactive, risk-calibrated and founder-aligned approach—ensuring that privacy and security are not just regulatory obligations, but strategic differentiators.
-
We provide strategic counsel on the development, protection, and commercialization of copyright and trademark intellectual property assets across high-growth tech environments.
We ensure IP protections reinforce leverage, support valuation, and withstand regulatory scrutiny. Whether advising on development and ownership structures, open-source risk, or enforcement, we help position IP as a core business asset, not a legal checkbox.
