Tactical Law Group LLP is a boutique law firm focused primarily on complex legal disputes at the intersection of technology, intellectual property, and business agreements. Based in California, we represent mid-market and large companies in high-stakes software licensing and other commercial disputes, including failed ERP implementations, SaaS contract disputes, and software publisher audit defense — in California and across the United States.
The firm was founded by former Am Law partners and senior in-house counsel who understand how enterprise software is sold, licensed, implemented, and enforced. That practical, technical knowledge is what distinguishes our representation: we do not simply litigate facts — we understand the underlying technology, the vendor's playbook, and the leverage points that drive resolution.
We resolve the majority of matters through strategic negotiation and early dispute positioning, without litigation. When arbitration or litigation is unavoidable, we are fully prepared to prosecute or defend claims through trial.
ERP Implementation Dispute Attorneys — Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor, Sage, Unanet, Filevine & More
Tactical Law Group represents companies in high-stakes disputes arising from failed or materially deficient ERP implementations, licensing conflicts, and breakdowns in the relationship between companies, their software vendors and their implementation partners.
Our ERP dispute clients range from mid-market companies to large enterprises. We have handled disputes involving:
What Our ERP Clients Face
We routinely handle disputes arising from oversold functionality, misrepresented go-live timelines, system and architectural design failures, cost overruns, project abandonment, and post-implementation failures that cripple business operations. While vendors and integrators typically attribute these failures to client-side execution problems, our experience consistently shows that the root cause lies in how the system was sold — and what was promised.
Our ERP dispute practice covers claims against both software publishers and implementation partners, including fraud in the inducement, misrepresentation, breach of contract, unfair business practices, and related torts.
Representative Experience
Tactical Law Group filed River Supply, Inc. v. Oracle America, Inc., NetSuite Inc., et al. (N.D. Cal. Case No. 3:23-cv-02981) on behalf of a mid-market company alleging fraud in the inducement, promissory fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, theft of money, and unfair business practices arising from Oracle's SuiteSuccess implementation program. The case targeted Oracle's alleged practice of misrepresenting the capabilities of its cloud ERP solution and the timeline required to go live in order to secure contracts with small and mid-size businesses.

Software Audit Defense and Licensing Disputes — Oracle, Quest, Microsoft, VMware, Actian, Anaconda, IBM & Others
Tactical Law Group is a recognized leader in software audit defense and licensing disputes involving enterprise software and other IP assets. Companies hiring our firm find that we have a deep knowledge of such disputes, are able to grasp the details quickly, and provide concise advice and a path to resolution.
We regularly defend companies facing aggressive compliance demands and audit enforcement actions from major software publishers, including:
Representative Software Audit Litigation Experience
The vast majority of our software audit defense cases have resulted in an amicable resolution. However, when litigation becomes inevitable we have experience defending companies from predatory software audits, and resolving those cases short of trial. Representative software audit defense cases include Oracle America, Inc. vs. Cogent Communications, Inc., (N.D. Cal. Case No. 3:16-CV-04828), Quest Software Inc. v. HealthEquity, (C.D. Cal. Case No. 8:23-cv-01909), Oracle America Inc. v. NEC Corporation of America, (N.D. Cal. Case No. 3:23-CV-05270), and Actian Corporation v. Mirion Technologies, Inc. (N.D. Cal. Case No. 3:23-CV-05815).
Technology Transactions & Licensing Counseling
Our experience with licensing and other disputes means that we are able to quickly identify one-sided clauses or contracts and propose edits and revisions to shift some of the risk back on the vendor. That results in better positioning in the event of a dispute.
We provide comprehensive legal support for technology companies and technology-dependent businesses, including:
Our transactional work is grounded in real-world dispute experience. We know where these agreements break down — and we draft accordingly.
