• Agreements to purchase or sell high-tech companies or their assets.
• Outsourcing and off-shoring deals.
• Consulting agreements.
• Manufacturing and supply agreements.
• OEM, distribution, reseller, and marketing representative agreements.
• Marketing and merchandizing agreements.
• E-commerce arrangements of all varieties.
