Legal
Legal counsel, built for product teams.
Your product promises things in contracts. Security has to deliver them. SES provides senior legal counsel who understands the intersection of commercial terms, data protection, and information security — so deals close without creating hidden obligations.
Why it matters
Contracts are product promises. Make them keepable.
Enterprise deals move through DPAs, security addenda, BAAs, subprocessor lists, and procurement redlines. Generic templates create friction; aggressive terms create risk. The best outcome is a contract that reflects what you actually do.
We work alongside your sales, security, and product teams as an extension of counsel — reviewing the deal, explaining the trade-offs, and building a playbook that makes the next negotiation faster.

Legal questions
The details, before the first call.
If your question is not here, ask it directly. We will give you a straight answer.
Ask a different questionDo you replace our outside counsel?
Sometimes we complement them. We handle commercial, privacy, and security-heavy work and coordinate with specialized counsel when a matter requires it.
Can you work with our sales team directly?
Yes. We can join deal reviews, provide a playbook, and set escalation thresholds so routine negotiations do not wait on legal.
Do you provide litigation support?
Our focus is commercial, privacy, and information security counsel. If you need litigation or specialist representation, we can help coordinate with the right firm.
How does pricing work?
Most engagements are a monthly retainer or a fixed-scope project. We agree the scope and capacity up front so there are no surprise invoices.
Can you review our security addendum?
Yes. We review security addenda alongside the underlying controls so the commitments are achievable and the liability is proportionate.
