About Byte Counsel
Specialized legal expertise for the digital age. Defending your licenses, byte by byte.
Our Mission
Byte Counsel was founded on a simple principle: technology companies and businesses using complex software need legal counsel who truly understand both the technology and the law. Too many organizations face devastating audit penalties, regulatory challenges, and contract disputes because their attorneys lack the technical knowledge to provide effective guidance.
We bridge that gap. Our team combines deep legal expertise with real-world technology experience. We've defended hundreds of software audits, guided cryptocurrency companies through regulatory compliance, and protected managed service providers with battle-tested contracts. We speak your language—whether that's virtualization licensing, blockchain protocols, or cloud computing economics.
Our mission is to provide strategic legal counsel that protects your business, reduces costs, and enables you to focus on what you do best: building great technology and serving your clients.
What We Do
Software Audits
We defend organizations against software audits from Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, SAP, and other major publishers. Our clients achieve 40-60% average cost reductions through strategic defense.
Cryptocurrency Law
We guide cryptocurrency and blockchain businesses through SEC, CFTC, and FinCEN compliance. From token launches to DeFi protocols, we provide comprehensive regulatory counsel.
MSP Contracts
We protect managed service providers with properly structured contracts that limit liability, secure revenue, and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations.
Software Procurement
Expert negotiation of enterprise agreements, volume licensing, and cloud subscriptions. We help clients save 20-40% on major software procurements through strategic legal counsel.
Software Licensing
Comprehensive licensing services including compliance assessment, license optimization, EA negotiations, cloud licensing strategies, and Software Asset Management support.
Why Choose Byte Counsel
Specialized Expertise
We focus exclusively on technology law. This specialization means we have deeper knowledge, more relevant experience, and better strategies than general practice attorneys who occasionally handle tech matters.
Technical Fluency
We understand the technology behind the legal issues. From virtualization licensing to blockchain smart contracts, we speak your language and can explain complex technical matters to courts, regulators, and opposing counsel.
Proven Results
Our clients achieve measurable results: 40-60% reductions in audit costs, 20-40% savings on software procurement, successful regulatory compliance, and protection from multi-million dollar liabilities. Results matter.
Business-First Approach
We provide legal solutions that support your business goals. Our counsel considers operational needs, budget constraints, and strategic objectives—not just legal risk minimization in isolation.
Responsive Service
When you receive an audit notice or face a legal challenge, time matters. We provide rapid response, clear communication, and direct access to experienced attorneys who handle your matter personally.
Transparent Pricing
No surprises. We provide clear fee structures, realistic cost estimates, and regular updates on legal spend. You'll always know what you're paying for and why it matters.
