Adam J.
I'm a California-licensed attorney with 18 years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 500 companies and venture-backed startups to individuals navigating real-life legal situations. I bring an high degree of emotional intelligence to every matter, and am also certified as both a coach and as a counselor. My career started at Fenwick & West, one of Silicon Valley's top law firms, where I worked alongside names like Google, Airbnb, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia Capital. From there I moved in - house at companies like Cloudflare, Autodesk, and Enphase - which gave me a practical, business-minded perspective that I bring to every client, no matter the size of the matter. Today I work with businesses and individuals alike. On the business side, that means commercial contracts, leases, startup corporate work, and serving as a fractional general counsel for companies that need a trusted legal partner without the overhead. On the personal side, I help individuals with employment matters, disputes, demand letters, contract review, and the kind of everyday legal situations where you just need someone knowledgeable in your corner. I'm direct, responsive, and I speak plain English — not legalese. Whether you're a founder closing your first deal or an individual facing a situation you've never navigated before, I'll give you the same level of attention and care.
"I needed legal advice regarding ownership of solar panels after a bankruptcy and every attorney I spoke with stated they could not help me. Adam was the only one to step up and be an advocate for my family. He was extremely prompt with his communication and transparent with his fees. I never once felt like I was being ignored or having my concerns brushed aside. Adam listened and addressed every single one of my concerns in a professional manner. His knowledge with how solar companies work gave me the confidence to know I was going to achieve what I was looking for. I highly recommend Adam, I am so glad I hired him to represent me when nobody else would."

Carver F.
I'm the principal attorney at FarrowLaw PC, a California business and commercial law firm based in Long Beach. My practice covers transactional work, employment law, litigation, and day-to-day advisory matters for business clients — essentially, I help companies make clear-eyed decisions about risk, contracts, and strategy without the usual legal hedging. Before law, I trained in computer science and worked in-house at technology companies, which gives me a working fluency in how tech businesses actually operate. A significant portion of my practice involves representing tech and startup clients, where that background lets me engage with technical realities rather than abstract them away. If you're working with a client who needs a practical California business lawyer — particularly one who speaks the language of tech — I'd welcome the introduction.

Before law school I built the contract management system for a publicly traded medical device company — so I read your agreement the way the people who have to live with it will, not just the way a court would. I draft and review business contracts on a fixed fee, with the delivery date agreed before I start. You get the redlined document plus a short written summary of what I changed, why it matters, and what I'd push back on if the other side objects. Revisions are included — I'd rather get the document right than count rounds. NDAs, MSAs and SOWs, contractor and employment agreements, SaaS terms, terms of service and privacy policies, operating agreements, vendor and construction contracts, and full contract review with a plain-English risk summary. Send me the document and what you're trying to accomplish with it, and I'll come back with a fixed fee and a date.

Software Agreement
California
Can I modify a software agreement to add additional terms and conditions that are specific to my business?
I am a small business owner who recently purchased a software application for my company's operations. The software agreement provided by the vendor includes some general terms and conditions, but I would like to add specific clauses that address the unique needs and requirements of my business. I want to know if it is legally possible for me to modify the software agreement to include these additional terms and conditions, and if so, what steps should I take to ensure that the modified agreement is enforceable and protects my business interests?
Dolan W.
Hello! Thanks for coming to contractscounsel.com'. To modify a contract legally, the following requirements must be met: All parties to the contract must agree to the modification. This means that both parties must sign and date the amendment to the contract. The parties to the contract need new consideration -- something of legal value -- to modify a contract. For example, if a party wants more money for something they would need to provide additional performance in exchange. A writing is not required for a modification, but it is recommended. In this case, without offering something additional to the software application developer and without the developer's consent for something like this, then legally speaking, modifications would be invalid. I recommend coming to this site and having us incorporate the suggested modifications. Best of luck! Dolan

Software Subscription Agreement
California
Can a software subscription agreement be terminated before the end of the agreed term if the software is not functioning as intended?
I entered into a software subscription agreement with a company for their software product, which was supposed to provide certain functionalities for my business. However, after using the software for a while, I have discovered that it is not functioning as intended and is causing significant issues and disruptions in my business operations. I would like to know if I have the right to terminate the agreement before the end of the agreed term based on the software's failure to meet the intended functionalities and if there are any potential legal implications or remedies available to me in this situation.
Dolan W.
Hello! Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the defendant. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) Any contract entered into after January 1, 1986 that does not stipulate the legal rate of interest, the obligation shall bear an interest rate of 10% per year after the breach. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3289.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. In your case, you said that the subscription agreement doesn't have the functionalities you expected. Because it's not functioning like you intended, and if you have made reasonable efforts to resolve this in good faith, then it is a breach of contract. Because it is a breach, you can suspend your own performance in this case and sue for any actual or consequential financial damages you've suffered. The quicker, informal option is to send a demand for performance. Because this situation is so common, I drafted a template myself to help with this so you know it's legitimate - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 You can file a lawsuit in your local court. If you’ve already sent a bunch of letters, then the truth is this is the only way to compel them to do anything. You can also talk to me about drafting a letter, too. Best of luck! Dolan

Software agreement and development milestones?
I am in the process of developing a software product and would like to protect my interests in the development process. I need to understand the parameters of a software agreement and what development milestones should be included. Additionally, I need to understand what legal remedies are available if the other party fails to meet the agreed upon milestones.

Your question is actually several questions in one and would need a lenthy explanation. My suggestion is to submit a request to have attorneys submit bids to advise you and help you with your endeavors. I would be very happy to help you, and you can request me, or you can have multiple attornies submit bids.

Can I modify a software agreement to remove certain clauses that I find unfair?
I am a small business owner who recently signed a software agreement with a large software company. However, upon closer inspection, I have realized that there are certain clauses in the agreement that seem unfair and heavily favor the software company. These clauses include limited liability, indemnification, and a lack of warranty. I am wondering if it is possible for me to modify the agreement to remove these clauses or negotiate a more balanced agreement with the software company.
Darryl S.
Certainly you may modify the agreement, however, you must get the other side to agree in writing to the changes. And you should modify elements that you view as unfair or unreasonable.

SaaS Agreement
Connecticut
SaaS agreement and service availability?
I am a software developer and I am in the process of developing a new software product. I am looking to enter into an agreement with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider to provide the hosting and maintenance of the product. I am looking for clarity on the service availability and the terms of the agreement related to the availability of the SaaS provider's services.
JOSEPH L.
Most of the clients I have represented as SaaS developers did their own distribution, maintenance and marketing. The situation you are talking about would be a Software Licensing and Distribution Agreement with a third party. You would maintian all the intellectual property rights to your software and then work out the details of the contract with a third party. It would be important to clarify the specifics and not get your self locked in with this third party in case they sat on your software and did little to promotoe it or maximize revenues. Some of the things the agreement would need to set out are geographic territory (or be worldwide), confidentiality and non-compete language, milestones they would need to achieve to maintain an exclusive relationship, if that's what you agree upon, royalties or commissions, marketing minimums, and liability terms. The forest step would be to have a confidentiality agreement with whatever third party you have communications with so you protect any information you deem as "confidential" but which you need to discuss with them to see if they are the right fit for your needs. https://www.josephblarocco.com/startup-confidentiality-agreements.htmlSecond step would be a termsheet or letter of intent to make sure both parties are in agreement on the major terms, and the then f third step would be the drafting of the Software Licensing and Distribution Agreement.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
