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.

It's basically commercial work for tech companies. Think master services agreement with Salesforce or a partnership agreement with Microsoft.
