License Audit Defenders is an independent global directory of software asset management, licensing-negotiation and audit-defense firms, indexed by vendor and by jurisdiction. We are not a law firm, and we take no money from software publishers. Our job is to help an organization that has received an audit letter reach qualified, buyer-side defenders quickly — and to describe each firm fairly so you can choose for yourself.
Firms are listed in neutral alphabetical order, never scored or numbered. No firm is “#1”, “top”, or “recommended”. Every firm is described with a balanced set of real pros and cons.
We take no money from software vendors and accept no pay-for-placement. Independence and reseller status are stated as plain facts for you to weigh, never as a verdict.
The directory and the matching service are free for buyers. We route your brief to firms covering your vendor and jurisdiction; they engage you directly, with no referral markup.
Vendors are described factually and never disparaged. Legal context on the site is information, not legal advice, and is labelled as such. Indicative figures are labelled indicative.
License Audit Defenders is operated from New York and London, serving organizations worldwide. We never publish a private email address; the fastest way to reach us is through the confidential intake.
