Innovations in the tech and life-sciences industries often center on licensing technology from and to others. Rarely does a company stand alone. These transactions depend on highly-trained transactional lawyers. But what can you expect if you focus your career on tech transactions?

  • What does “technology transactions lawyer” mean?
  • What type of clients do technology transactions lawyers work with?
  • How are the work and the legal issues different based on whether your clients are tech companies or life sciences companies?
  • Does every big law firm have an “technology transactions” practice group?
  • What does your typical day look like? 
  • What other practice groups does tech trans work with a lot, and how do you work with them?
  • What advice would you give a law student looking to join this practice area?
