SaaS contracts
Master service agreements, channel and reseller relationships, customer-side enterprise terms, data-handling and portability obligations. Where the contract draft is the work and where post-signing dispute work picks up.

SaaSEnterprise customer demanding data portability beyond contract

Payment-processor disputes
Stripe and PayPal account freezes, holds, reserves, and terminations. These matters are governed by the platform's own terms and respond to attorney-supervised written escalation rather than to litigation in most cases.
See the payment-processor practice page →Two-sided marketplace, six-figure Stripe freeze
Stripe held marketplace settlement funds during a risk review while seller payouts stalled.
PayPalCross-border merchant, 180-day PayPal hold
PayPal imposed a rolling reserve and a 180-day hold on a merchant moving products across two countries.
AI and data licensing
Training-data rights, model-output ownership, vendor-side training carve-outs hidden inside enterprise SaaS terms, and licensing transactions where the licensed content is feeding a model rather than a product feature.
See the AI and data practice page →AI vendor reserving training rights inside a SaaS supply chain

Cross-border US-Asia matters
US clients with suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, or counterparties in the Pacific region. The language and time-zone advantages of operating from Asia matter most on these files.
See the cross-border practice page →US client, Asia-based manufacturer in default
An Asia-based manufacturer missed delivery and refused to refund a six-figure deposit.
Cross-borderRussian-language distribution agreement enforcement

Platform and marketplace compliance
Marketplace and app-store account suspensions, takedowns, and policy-driven removals where the platform's own dispute process is the operative forum.
See the platform practice page →Marketplace seller account suspension with funds on hold
