Commercial Counsel

In-house Counsel for Tech and SaaS Businesses.

Eliga works alongside technology and SaaS businesses as embedded, in-house commercial counsel. We are there while decisions are being made, not brought in after the fact. Sometimes that is a specific deal. Sometimes it is ongoing support across the business. It flexes with what you need.

What makes Eliga different

How Embedded Counsel Supports Tech and SaaS Businesses

Most legal issues do not start as big problems. They build over time while the business is moving quickly. Fractional counsel works best in that space, supporting decisions early and staying close to how the business actually operates.

📄

Contracts & Commercial Deals

Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating SaaS and technology agreements, with a focus on getting deals done without giving away more than you should.

🛡

Compliance & Risk Management

Setting up data, governance, and risk properly as you scale, so you are not fixing avoidable issues later.

🧭

Strategic Legal Direction

Working with founders and leadership teams on the legal side of scaling, hiring, and longer term decisions.

🌱

Founder & Growth Support

Helping founders figure out what matters now, what can wait, and how to structure things properly as the business evolves.

Growth

Embedded Across Every Phase of Growth

Technology regulation, data expectations, and commercial norms are constantly shifting. Having embedded in-house counsel means those changes are understood in the context of how your business operates.

Phase I

Before Direction Hardens

We get involved while options are still open. That way structure, governance, and deal terms are shaped early, not forced later.

Phase II

While Deals Are Moving

We work alongside you as deals happen. Terms change, pressure builds, and things move quickly. Legal support stays close to that, not behind it.

Phase III

As Complexity Increases

Growth brings complexity. Disputes, regulation, internal strain. At that point, you do not want to be starting from scratch with external advice. We are already there.
