Escode works with legal teams all over the world to embed practical software management into commercial contracts, M&A transactions, and software licensing agreements.
At its core, a software escrow agreement is a tri-party contract between the software supplier, the software customer, and Escode as the neutral third party. It defines the conditions under which critical software materials (including source code, documentation, and deployment assets) can be accessed in the event of vendor failure, insolvency, or other release conditions.
We support attorneys across industries with model clauses, structured agreement templates, and CLE-accredited training on software escrow implementation. Our legal team helps define release triggers, update obligations, and testing requirements all designed to balance operational needs with IP protection.
Escode’s services provide added assurance that deposited material is complete and functional, strengthening the enforceability and value of the software escrow agreement.
We work with firms across the UK, North America, and globally to support joint ventures, IP transfers, and supplier continuity planning.
For legal professionals advising on tech transactions, Escode provides more than just a clause. We offer the insight, structure, and technical backing to make software escrow agreements work in practice.
