§ 1
Who it is for
This service is for investors who need a structured legal assessment of a technology company before committing capital, and for startups that want to identify and resolve legal vulnerabilities before opening their funding round. Legal due diligence on technology companies covers ground that generic corporate due diligence tends to miss: title to intellectual property, data protection compliance, regulatory exposure under the AI Act, risk in SaaS contracts and weaknesses in shareholders' agreements. The outcome is a clear risk report with prioritised remediation recommendations, structured to serve both the investor's decision and the startup's legal clean-up roadmap.
§ 2
Deliverables
Technology companies accumulate risks that standard corporate due diligence does not detect: intellectual property with unclear title between founders, GDPR gaps, AI Act exposure, SaaS contracts without IP or liability clauses, and shareholders' agreements that do not hold under pressure. This engagement maps them with the specificity a transaction demands. The result is a structured report with a risk map and a prioritised remediation list, designed to ground an investment decision or prepare the company to raise capital.
A unilateral confidentiality agreement signed by PASSAS before the video consultation, available at no additional cost on request. It binds the firm alone — no signature is required from the client — and adds an explicit contractual layer on top of the professional secrecy obligations inherent to the practice of law.
A 60-minute working session by video call in which we analyse your situation, your specific needs and our ability to help you. We assess whether we can take on the matter and give you the fixed price in advance. You can book it directly through the Google Calendar link on our website and pay €90 by Stripe.
Legal analysis of the position of a technology company, aimed at investment decision-making or at preparation for a due diligence process. Reviews corporate structure, intellectual property, key contracts, regulatory compliance and pending litigation. Concludes with a risk map and prioritised remediation recommendations.

Timeline
At PASSAS we work fast, and we intend to be faster than the competition without losing quality along the way. That is why we like to tell you how long you will wait for your service. It is an indicative figure, since some engagements are more complex than others. The Engagement Letter sets out a deadline tailored to your matter, one we will do everything we can to meet, or to beat. That is our commitment to quality.
§ 4
Fees
We tell you what you will pay for your service: at PASSAS we work with a transparent fee policy. That said, we are not a marketplace. Every service is tailored and the fees follow the workload borne by the lawyer in charge. Even so, we want to give you an indicative price for this service, so that deciding to instruct us and booking your virtual consultation is easier.

Frequently asked questions
Corporate due diligence examines the company as a legal entity: share capital, corporate records, employment, litigation, tax. Technology due diligence examines what actually carries the value in a technology business: whether title to the intellectual property genuinely sits with the company rather than with founders or contractors, whether the data processing survives scrutiny, what exposure the AI Act creates, and whether the SaaS contracts allocate liability and ownership as the model assumes. The two exercises are complementary and the second is the one most often skipped.
Both, at different moments. An investor commissions it before committing capital and receives a risk map that grounds the decision and the terms. A startup commissions it before opening a round and receives the same map as a remediation list, with time to close the gaps before someone else finds them. The scope is the same; the report is framed for the party instructing it.
Defective title to intellectual property. Code written by founders before incorporation, freelance developers engaged without a valid assignment clause, and open source components with licence terms incompatible with the commercial model. It is a recurring finding and, taken early, an inexpensive one to fix.
From €5,000 + VAT, delivered within two weeks, at a fixed price agreed in the engagement letter before we begin. The exact figure depends on the size of the target and the complexity of its contractual and regulatory position. If you want to scope the exercise first, a 60 minute Virtual Consultation costs €90 (VAT included) and is deductible from the first invoice.
