Commercial document preparation · Cork and Ireland
Your product moves faster than your paperwork, and enterprise buyers notice. Davitts Solicitors prepares technology contracts in Cork and SaaS agreements for Irish businesses, with clear terms that help commercial teams answer procurement questions.
Paperwork should keep pace.
Documents are written for the people who use them, including founders, sales teams, customers and procurement reviewers.
Build the documents around the deal, the service and the stage your company is at.
Company foundations
Set out who does what while the founding team still agrees on the basics. Clear documents can record roles, time commitments, decision rights and what happens if a founder leaves.
Agree the rules early.
Shareholder documents can cover share classes, transfers, pre-emption rights and reserved matters. Vesting and good-leaver or bad-leaver terms should be explained in plain English, so each founder understands how the provisions work before signing.
These documents need to fit with the company constitution and any employee share arrangements. We prepare the paperwork to reflect the agreed structure and flag points that need confirmation.
Selling and delivering software
SaaS agreements in Ireland need to reflect how customers buy and use the service. The terms should give both sides a workable account of access, payment, support and what happens when the contract ends.
Make service measurable.
Set out licence scope, permitted users, fees, renewals, suspension rights and the return or handling of customer data on exit.
What we need from you: your pricing model, service description and current sales terms.
Describe uptime, planned maintenance and support response targets in terms a customer can assess and your team can track.
What we need from you: service metrics, support hours and escalation steps.
Define the scope, deliverables and responsibilities for implementation, integration or other project work.
What we need from you: the project plan, delivery roles and agreed assumptions.
Address misuse in practical language, including automated access, resale, security testing and activity that could affect other users.
What we need from you: your service safeguards and examples of prohibited activity.
Investment and growth
Funding documents should match the deal the founders and investors have agreed. Keep the shareholder agreement and company constitution in view as the round takes shape.
Keep the round coherent.
Prepare subscription or share purchase documents to record the agreed investment, share issue and completion steps.
Document information rights, board or observer arrangements and matters that require investor consent.
Organise warranty and disclosure schedules so the founders can check and complete them against the company's records.
Cross-check the round against the shareholder agreement and constitution to identify conflicting rights or terms.
Security and privacy documentation
Enterprise customers need to assess how your business protects information and handles incidents. Security schedules can describe technical and organisational measures in language that matches your actual controls.
Security terms need specifics.
Incident clauses can set notification timelines, cooperation duties and responsibilities for customer communications. Confidentiality agreements can also support contractor relationships, partner discussions and early customer evaluations.
These documents should work alongside data processing agreements and privacy notices prepared for GDPR alignment. The wording should fit together without repeating obligations in ways that create confusion.
Review security wordingA practical starting point
The right paperwork depends on what the company is doing now. Choose a stage to see common documents and a sensible order for checking them.
Start with today's stage.
Set ownership and decision-making before the team starts making long-term commitments.
Make the service, price and customer responsibilities clear before the first signed order.
Document working arrangements and clarify how company information and work product are handled.
Prepare investor and customer documents against the live transaction and procurement requirements.
This roadmap is indicative. We confirm the right scope and sequence during a consultation, based on your company and the documents already in place.
