The Real PAIN POINT in the Legal Industry IS NOT AI or
Automation
- IT'S LACK OF TRAINING!

WHY MOST ATTORNEYS STRUGGLE WITH SAAS CONTRACTS!

For attorneys in law firms and legal departments of all sizes, training is difficult to come by.
Busy senior attorneys do not have the time to invest in training. And the ones that do may be great attorneys, but not the best teachers. In my interviews with senior partners and general counsels all over the world, their number #1 gripe is that they don’t have the time or resources to invest in training.
Finding the right mentor to help you is hard and can be costly!
Without proper training, you’re stuck in the same position, missing out on career-defining opportunities. The Practical SaaS Contract Masterclass will change that for you.
For attorneys in law firms and legal departments of all sizes, training is difficult to come by.

IMAGINE WHAT YOUR CAREER WOULD LOOK LIKE IF...

Imagine reviewing and negotiating contracts with complete confidence and ease. What would your day look like if you knew you’d crush your next negotiation?
Picture receiving a message from your supervising attorney: “Great job. No comments from me. This can be sent to the client. By the way, do you have time to help with other matters?
Think about a job interview where your SaaS contract knowledge makes such an impact that experience gaps don’t matter. I once hired someone who, despite limited experience, wowed us with her insights and expertise in SaaS. She became a remarkable asset to our team.

Don’t just take my word for it...

Hear from some past students who have taken courses.

I have already used the information regarding anonymized, aggregated and de-identified data. Prior to your class, I really thought the terms anonymized and de-identified were interchangeable.

Your course and playbook have been so valuable for me to learn how to build my own playbook, and to improve my SaaS negotiations along the way. Compared to 6 months ago, I have much deeper understanding of the big topics of negotiation, and I respond to customer redlines more effectively and confidently because of this.

BONUS

KYP – Know Your Product Checklist

The KYP Checklist is unique to the Practical SaaS Contract Course. It is a checklist that I prepared and has served me well with SaaS clients over the years. It makes sure you ask the right questions to get all the answers upfront so you can focus on closing the agreement rather than chasing stakeholders for answers. It significantly cuts down time in negotiating agreements and saves a lot of interactions with other stakeholders.

Updated monthly with fresh,real-world scenarios, red lines, and detailed explanations, it goes beyond theory to show you exactly how to break deadlocks in real-time.

Updated monthly, it keeps you fluent in the ever-changing SaaS vocabulary whether it’s contract terminology, finance and technical acronyms, or industry buzzwords. It’s your quick-reference guide to sounding confident and staying sharp with dealing with colleagues and in every negotiation.

In-Class Discussions (Legal Geek-Out Sessions)

In this course, we don’t just learn — we geek out on SaaS contracts together. Classes features a dedicated “legal geek-out” session where we discuss real-world challenges, brainstorm solutions, and share our unique approaches.

Is the Practical SaaS Contract MasterClass specific to any jurisdiction or country?

The MasterClass is designed to be highly practical and relevant across jurisdictions, rather than focusing exclusively on any single country's laws or regulations.

​My professional background involves extensive experience negotiating global contracts governed by a variety of international jurisdictions. This global perspective ensures the MasterClass provides practical, real-world insights that you can apply whether your counterparty is based in the U.S., Europe, or elsewhere.
In that context, the MasterClass identifies the ONE KEY ISSUE that YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER when redlining contracts under any foreign jurisdiction.

While some topics may track more closely to a common law contractual approach on SaaS, the primary focus of the MasterClass is to help you effectively navigate common issues and objections encountered in SaaS agreements in all  jurisdictions, regardless of governing law or geographical location.  

In short, this MasterClass equips you to confidently negotiate SaaS contracts internationally, empowering you with practical skills and insights applicable across multiple jurisdictions

Do you offer CLE credit for the Practical SaaS Contract MasterClass?

Rules for CLE credit vary by country and state (and profession). While we cannot guarantee CLE credit, we provide resources to support self-submission efforts, including:Certificates of CompletionProgram slidesAttendance information (for live sessions)Presenter biographiesAnd more information as per request.
Participants are responsible for any self-submission processes and fees required by their jurisdiction.
If your state requires formal program registration, I’m happy to look into the requirements. When there has been enough demand in the past, I’ve registered with state bars and will continue to do so if needed.
For CLE-related questions about earlier programs, please contact me directly at david@developlegalmindset.com.

If the class is not for me, can I get a refund?

Absolutely, if after 2 classes you find it is not for you, you can get a 100% refund immediately, no questions asked!

How will the classes be held?

The classes will be held virtually on MS Teams. You will receive a link on sign-up! You don’t need to download anything for it. All you need is a computer and internet connection.

Do I need anything for the classes?

Other than internet connection and camera/mic on your computer or laptop, you don’t need anything.

I’m a senior legal counsel, not a junior attorney. Is the Practical SaaS Contract MasterClass still relevant for me?

Yes! Absolutely. While the course is suitable for junior attorneys, it’s designed for legal professionals and contract managers at all levels. Many of our past students have been experienced in-house counsel, general counsel, and attorneys and contract managers at Fortune 500 companies.

If you already have a solid foundation in contracts and technology, the course will help you deepen your SaaS-specific expertise on the main areas of SaaS contracts including data use, reps and warranties, IP infringement issues, liability structuring and negotiating third-party integration issues in global deals.

You’ll also receive a 12-month license to our Scenario-Based SaaS Contract Playbook and SaaS Jargon Glossary, both of which are practical tools to help you review and negotiate SaaS agreements more effectively.
If you're seeking to sharpen your negotiation skills and stay current with evolving SaaS contracting norms, this course is built for exactly that.

I don’t want to invest the money. Can I get this type of training from just my current place of work?

While on-the-job training varies, this course offers structured, high-quality SaaS contract training that many professionals don’t receive at work. It’s an investment in your long-term career.If you work in SaaS for long enough, you will undoubtedly get training and experience but depending on your clients, mentors and supervisors, the training will vary.

I was lucky - I cut my teeth working in startups that were selling to Fortune 500 companies globally, and I had amazing people who gave me time and taught me the ropes. They believed in me. But I know from seeing the progression of my colleagues, that is not always the case. Even the ones that went through Big Law to partnership, some of them had difficult experiences going through the ranks and their training was not of such a high standard. It really varies.

And if the fee for the course is too high for you now, I guarantee that the dividends you receive as a successful SaaS lawyer will more than pay for the investment. This will seem like “funny money” compared to what your career will provide to you soon!

So, if you don’t feel that you are getting the best out of your current position, and they are not getting the best out of you, then this training course is perfect for you.

My job and life is overwhelming, and I don’t have time to invest in the course?

A lot of the time, feelings of overwhelm come from lack of knowledge, rather than a perceived lack of time. Staring at the screen, not knowing how to review a contract leads to negative self-talk and a feeling of wasting time and time -scarcity. And, to be honest, it is taking you longer because of your lack of experience and knowledge.

Doing the course will cut down the time it takes you on SaaS contracts and other tech agreements. It is an investment of time now that will pay big dividends in the future.

There are webinars and lots of other free materials out there, why do I need the course?

There are a lot of free material and free webinars, workshops and other things on SaaS contracts, mostly by attorneys and law firms.

But their primary aim is to attract clients rather than educate.

And even if you are the target market, the webinars and free materials only provide a tiny portion on whatever topic they are teaching to impress you and get your business. It is not nearly enough to give you the practical knowledge to do the work yourself. They want to do it for you – that is the reason behind the free material!
So, if you want the skills for yourselves for your own work, then this course is the place for you!

Do online training classes really work?

The Practical SaaS Contract Masterclass offers the flexibility to learn from anywhere, whether it's your office or the comfort of your home, with minimal disruption to your schedule. No need to travel, no wasted time commuting - just focused, practical learning that fits into your routine. And because it is tailored for attorneys in technology, everything you’ll learn is 100% relevant to your day-to-day work. You will walk away with actionable insights, not just theory. Many professionals have found that online courses, when structured well,  allow them to absorb the material more effectively - since they can revisit tough concepts whenever they need.
