Built for execution, not overhead.

Complex Outsourcing and Technology deals don't need more lawyers. They need the right lawyers.

Fortune 1000 companies, venture capital and private equity firms, and emerging/mid-stage technology and service providers rely on us to lead complex, high-value outsourcing and strategic technology transactions with greater control, efficiency, and accountability than traditional firms can deliver. We advise on transformational outsourcing and technology transactions where precision, speed, efficiency, legal acumen, and commercial judgment determine success or failure.

SourceTech operates on a different model.

After years of being a partner at global law firms, Adam Sak built SourceTech Law Group to solve a fundamental problem: companies were paying premium rates for fragmented teams, inconsistent senior involvement, and unnecessary complexity.

At SourceTech, every engagement is led end-to-end by a single senior attorney. No handoffs. No junior layering. No loss of deal continuity. The result is a level of command over the transaction that large firms simply cannot replicate: every issue tracked, every dependency understood, every negotiation point aligned with your business objectives.

We pair that model with a disciplined, fixed-fee structure that delivers cost certainty and substantially lower overall spend - without compromising sophistication or outcome.

SourceTech brings decades of outsourcing and technology transaction experience to serve a single purpose: leading complex transactions with greater focus, accountability, and efficiency than traditional law firm models allow.

For critical transactions, the advantage isn't more lawyers. It's better execution.

Why clients choose us

VS

Continuous

Partner leads the transaction end-to-end with continuous, hands-on involvement from strategy through execution. No gaps. No handoffs. No loss of continuity.

Leadership

Selective

Partner involved selectively at key moments – but not continuously engaged. Day-to-day transaction management delegated downward.

Focused and Unlayered

One senior attorney leads the transaction end-to-end, maintaining full command of all deal points and dependencies. Every workstream, issue, and deal management is coordinated. No unnecessary escalation layers.

Team Structure
Continuity
Deal Visibility

Fragmented and Layered

Large firms staff matters with layers - partners, counsel, associates - often rotating throughout the deal lifecycle. Critical context gets diluted, issues get revisited, and momentum is lost with too many lawyers. Risk of lost consistency and context.

Faster

Faster, more decisive execution. Lean structure. Direct communication and decisive guidance. We integrate with both legal and commercial deal leadership - ensuring that legal strategy is fully aligned with business outcomes.

Execution Speed

Slower

Due to coordination across larger teams and inexperience of junior lawyers.

Deep Integration

Deep integration of legal and commercial strategy. Invaluable experience in both legal and commercial deal structuring - ensuring alignment with your operational, financial, and strategic objectives.

Commercial Alignment

Legal-focused

Primarily legal-focused - business integration varies. Approach outsourcing transactions as legal exercises, rather than integrated business initiatives.

Fixed Fee

Disciplined fixed-fee structures that provide cost certainty and substantially lower total spend. Aligned with outcomes - not billable hours.

Billing Model

Hourly

Hourly billing - costs escalate with time and staffing. The longer it takes, the more it costs. Incentives are misaligned. "Fixed" bids are often quotes and not committed.

High

Defined fixed fee upfront with clear scope. Allows client to know transaction budget at the outset. Permits client to include our lawyer in business discussions without the worry of incurring additional fees with the benefit of greater deal understanding.

Cost Predictability

Limited

Budgets often exceeded. Hourly billing rewards time spent - not efficiency.

Flat

Substantially lower total cost for better outcomes. Client value often enhanced by increased speed to deal closure.

Total Cost

Blended

Premium rates + layered staffing = higher overall spend

Enhanced

Direct access to single point of contact accountable for the transaction • Greater control and alignment • More efficient execution • Better outcomes at significantly lower cost

Client Experience

Strained

Multiple points of contact with variable responsiveness • Disconnected workstreams create delays, duplication, inefficiencies, and slower decisions and guidance • Inconsistent continuity across the deal • Higher total spend

Big Law is built on scale and hours.
SourceTech is built on focus, accountability, and results.

What the SourceTech model means for your transaction:

  • Fewer inefficiencies. More control.
  • Better alignment with your legal requirements and business objectives.
  • Significantly improved cost discipline and predictability.
  • A single, experienced deal leader fully accountable for outcomes.

Our fee philosophy

Aligned with outcomes. Not hours.

Traditional law firm billing models reward time spent - not results delivered. In complex outsourcing and technology transactions, that often leads to escalating costs, budget uncertainty, and misaligned incentives.

We take a different approach.

Fixed Fees for Complex Outsourcing Transactions:

We structure our BPO and ITO outsourcing engagements around disciplined, fixed-fee arrangements tailored to the scope and complexity of your transaction.

  • Full cost predictability from the outset
  • No billing surprises as the deal progresses
  • Fees aligned with the value of the transaction—not the hours incurred

Our fixed fee pricing model reflects how we work:

  • Senior attorney-led execution from start to finish
  • No junior staffing layers or redundant workstreams
  • Lean, focused approach to negotiation and issue resolution

This allows legal and business stakeholders to plan with confidence and maintain control over total spend.

Affordable Hourly Rates for Technology Transactions:

For more standardized technology transactions, SourceTech offers our senior attorneys at hourly rates comparable to associates at Big Law firms. Lower rates combined with high efficiency produce lower transaction costs for our clients.

Clients choose our pricing model because it delivers what traditional firms cannot:

Predictability. Discipline. Value. Without compromising sophistication or results.

Our Services

Experience that matches any global firm.

SourceTech is focused on two legal services areas: strategic outsourcing transactions and technology transactions. We engage with clients on a transactional basis and for clients requiring consistent legal support for revenue generation, we offer a Fractional General Counsel model.

Transactional Services:

Business Process Outsourcing

Call Center Operations Finance and Accounting (F&A) Human Resources (HRO) Payroll Talent Management Procurement / Strategic Sourcing Print, Marketing, and Fulfillment Facilities Management Distribution Channel Management Claims Management Expense Management Lending Services and Deposits Fraud Alert and Chargeback

Information Technology Outsourcing

Technology Transactions

Fractional General Counsel:

SourceTech offers a Fractional General Counsel model to emerging and mid-stage growth clients that typically lack an in-house legal department.

This engagement model provides an affordable and integrated outsourced legal department to support sales, finance and product development teams with customer-facing revenue transactions, template contracts, procurement agreements and general commercial contracts. SourceTech achieves service efficiency and continuity by assigning a scalable team of senior technology and commercial lawyers to each client with a dedicated lead attorney.

We also tailor our services to adapt to each client's unique environment, such as staff roles, technology/tools and business processes. This enables us to learn each client's products and services, workflow and approval procedures, preferred contract outcomes, and key personnel allowing us to respond quickly, efficiently and expertly to client contract requests.

Our ideal client for this service model is a high-growth enterprise with a commercially available product or service with recurring customer contract volume and IT procurement needs. We are suited to clients that have no staff attorneys or only a General Counsel lacking bandwidth for recurring contract reviews, particularly if the timelines are critical for sales teams.

Our clients' sales organizations vary from distributed global sales teams to centralized executive-level sales models. Our clients require nimble and practical legal services with fast turn-around cycles to support revenue generation, engagement kick-off, and end-customer satisfaction without sacrificing legal protection.

Every engagement is structured to align legal frameworks with business objectives and operational realities.
