Stupid Question but what IS tech trans? I’ve seen the chambers/vault articles & firm descriptions but I still don’t get it - are you specialists that support deals? Do you manage M&A/capmkts deals for tech clients? Is it mostly commercial contracts? Is it mostly ECVC? Tech Trans lawyers: what’s your day to day like? How is your practice diff from other Corp practices?

Not about what you asked, but I hate how we have to qualify questions with "this is stupid, but . . ." Reality is you don't know what you don't know (and I'm sure you looked it up but still couldn't find exactly what it was). If anyone ever belittles you for asking a question, fuck them.

Lots of Software as a Service (SAAS) agreements which are a cross between an MSA and product contract with heavy IP provisions and security clauses. NDAs usually start the tech trans relationships, or at least should. Lots of cloud computing/storage agreements, too.

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol. This is the most sober I've been in a long time and generally I feel a lot better but it would be so easy to get drunk. Physically the consequences are what are keeping me from doing it. It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.
