Book Description
The Handbook provides guidance on the business issues behind the terms, as well as negotiation tips and sample contract language. And it covers all the key topics in technology contracts.
This third edition gives readers new and expanded best practices for data: for terms on privacy, data security, and control of data–some of the key concerns in IT contracts today.

You won’t find a more accessible, useful resource on IT contracts.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From cloud computing environments to hardware and software products, proprietary and open source licenses, and technology professional services agreements, we increasingly live in a digital world governed by information technology (IT) contracts.
The Tech Contracts Handbook, written by one of the most experienced technology lawyers and educators, provides a concise, well-organized, and clearly written guide for lawyers and non-lawyers alike who need to understand and negotiate IT contracts. The third edition provides up to date explanations and practical insights about how to navigate the evolving IT contracts realm. Highly recommended. — Peter S.
