Strategic Contracting Across the Procurement Lifecycle

We counsel clients through every stage of direct and indirect procurement—from drafting procurement and sales templates and performing contract audits to negotiating complex enterprise technology solutions and government contract bidding and regulatory compliance. No procurement transaction exists in isolation. Our attorneys take a holistic view of your contracting relationships—spanning material suppliers, service providers, manufacturing partners, distributors, referral sources, and customers—to close gaps that can expose your organization to operational risk. We take the time to learn your business, preferences, and risk concerns and tolerances so you are informed at every step to make the decisions best suited for your business. As your legal needs fluctuate with your business, our scalable teams let you flex resources up or down seamlessly.

Resilient Supply Chains and Proactive Strategies

Warner has been providing supply chain legal services for decades across a vast array of industries, including automotive, aerospace and defense, agriculture, consumer goods, health care, manufacturing, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and more. From post-pandemic disruptions and logistical obstacles to material shortages and extreme weather events, our attorneys are poised to take action wherever and whenever you need us.

Our proactive approach means investing time up front on proper contractual strategies – including well-structured terms and conditions, robust vendor agreements, appropriate intellectual property protections – to mitigate risks and large, complex disputes down the road. By keeping an eye on the horizon, we help clients to implement contractual protections against ever-changing supply chain risks, quickly adapt to both technological advancements and unforeseen challenges in the supply chain environment, including addressing the increasing prevalence of new cybersecurity and AI-related vulnerabilities and risks associated with global supply chains.

Technology Transactions

Technology is woven into every modern supply chain and procurement relationship. Warner's lawyers have extensive experience across financial services, health care, insurance, consumer products, publishing, manufacturing, education, and food distribution—representing both users and providers of content, data, software, hardware, and technology services.

In addition to providing specialized expertise with respect to data security and similar terms in general purchase and sale agreements, we routinely assist clients in preparing and negotiating a broad variety of specific technology agreements and transactions, including "as a service" agreements, cloud arrangements, software and application development and licensing, maintenance and support contracts, and m services agreements. From data security and business continuity to ownership considerations and privacy compliance, our team is well versed in navigating and negotiating the unique issues that arise in connection with these types of agreements.

Beyond contracting, we counsel clients on e-commerce operations, including website hosting, privacy policies, terms of use, and DMCA notices. We also guide clients through software audit demands and conduct IT-focused due diligence in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.
