Rubric Law supports ambitious technology businesses with the legal frameworks they need to scale, raise investment, and operate securely in competitive markets. Our technology lawyers bring both legal and commercial expertise to the table, advising digital businesses, SaaS providers, developers, and tech investors at all stages of growth.
We are particularly well known for our work in tech M&A, regularly advising on the sale and acquisition of technology companies, digital platforms, and software businesses. These deals often involve complex elements, such as IP ownership, licensing arrangements, employee incentives, cross-border considerations, and codebase due diligence. Our team works closely with founders, acquirers, and investors to structure deals properly, mitigate risk, and negotiate favourable outcomes.
Beyond M&A, our team advises on day-to-day matters under the umbrella of tech law, such as SaaS agreements, licensing models, and bespoke commercial contracts. We help tech companies put in place clear, enforceable agreements with users, resellers, service providers, and developers. For IP-heavy businesses, we advise on protection, ownership, and commercialisation of valuable assets.
Our technology lawyers also support clients through multiple funding stages, from pre-seed to Series A and beyond. We provide advice on shareholder agreements, subscription documents, investor rights, and exit planning. With an understanding of the investor mindset and tech sector dynamics, we help founders maintain alignment and long-term control where appropriate.
In addition, we provide support on employment matters, particularly for businesses with hybrid workforces, share schemes, or contractor-heavy structures. This includes advising on EMI options, founder agreements, and employment contracts that balance flexibility with legal protection.
As a full-service law firm, Rubric Law offers comprehensive advice across corporate, commercial, property, and employment law, which is particularly valuable during complex transactions and tech M&A. Our integrated approach ensures that legal risks across all areas of the business are identified early and managed effectively.
Whether you’re building a platform, attracting investment, planning an acquisition, or preparing for exit, Rubric’s tech law team has the experience, sector knowledge, and legal precision to support your next move with confidence.
