MSP Contract Lawyers

MSP contracts as a service attorneys in Texas

Scott & Scott, LLP’s cloud-based contracts as a services solution (“CAAS”) affords MSPs greater protection as ever-changing technology increases cybersecurity and ransomware risks.  By integrating the contracts with the quotes within various online quoting tools such as ConnectWise Sell, MSPs can collect e-signatures, enter into click-wrap agreements, and obtain browser wrap consent from clients for the online terms and conditions provided by the firm, thereby collapsing the sales and contracting process into one easy online transaction.

The solution also allows Scott & Scott to push frequent updates to clients without overwriting customizations made on prior versions, greatly reducing the time associated with keeping client documents current.

Maintenance and Support Services

Prior to January of 2022, our lawyers would assist managed services provider clients with their customer contracts by assisting them with the development of template documents to be used by the sales team.  Each client would get a customized version of our MSP contract templates developed over years of experience.  Customers frequently struggled to manage the contracts and ongoing legal review was time consuming and expensive.  Today, representing MSPs in connection with customer contracts requires a different approach, with more frequent review and closer control over revisions to the documents being exercised by our lawyers. 

 

Our clients now receive ongoing and scheduled maintenance and support including the following services:

  • Hosting of Web-based terms
  • Critical Updates Service (e.g., Kaseya Incident)
  • Quarterly Template Review & Update
  • E-mail review of initial customer changes
  • Access to Scott & Scott’s Privacy & Security Library including written information security policy, breach incident response plan, acceptable use policy, verbal confirmation of electronic transmissions policy, and expanded data processing terms.
