Joshua David Waterston

Josh Waterston is a Philadelphia-area attorney who concentrates on technology transactions, contract negotiations, and intellectual property protection. He represents SaaS startups, health tech innovators, and consumer product companies in drafting and negotiating cloud computing agreements, software licenses, and data-driven vendor and customer contracts.

Josh brings decades of experience helping businesses capture opportunities in technology while avoiding hidden pitfalls. His experience representing businesses of all sizes translates into success: For example, when recently advising a mid-sized software company negotiating with a new multinational customer, his strategic edits were all accepted on the first pass — securing favorable terms without prolonging the deal. He is equally skilled in representing larger organizations in negotiations with venture-backed startups, ensuring that his clients’ IP, data, and compliance needs are built into agreements from the outset.

Recognized among the top attorneys in the Philadelphia area - specifically, Delaware County and the Main Line, Josh also contributes to legal ethics, intellectual property, and privacy committees at the state and national level. Clients trust him to balance practical deal-making with long-term risk management in every contract.
