Dawn Perotti’s practice encompasses a broad range of outsourcing and technology transactions. These include global information technology and business process outsourcing agreements, cloud computing agreements, infrastructure as a service agreements, software as a service agreements, customer care/call center agreements, software development agreements, licensing and marketing agreements, and telecom agreements. She also counsels clients on data security and privacy issues. Throughout her decades of practice, Dawn has helped both service providers and users which has resulted in her having a strong understanding of the pressures that both sides face in a negotiation. Prior to joining King & Fisher, Dawn was a solo practitioner following eleven years as a member of Haynes and Boone’s Technology Transactions and Outsourcing Practice Group. She started her law career while in law school as a contract specialist and after graduation as an in-house attorney at MCI Telecommunications.
In her free time, Dawn provides pro bono legal services to Dallas Children Advocacy Center and Genesis Women’s Shelter. In addition, she serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and a Guardian Ad Litem in the Dallas County Family courts. As well, Dawn and her husband David, who works in private equity, enjoy golfing, playing tennis and spending time with their three boys. Two of their sons are in college (Texas A&M and Georgia respectively) and their third son recently graduated from SMU and works as a financial analyst.
