IT law & IP protection
Typical situations
Tech mandates become especially expensive where product development moved faster than the legal architecture behind it.
A product name or trademark should be secured before market launch
Software-development or SaaS contracts must be structured cleanly
The transfer of rights to source code and product assets needs to be documented
Data protection must be implemented in a product-oriented and regulator-ready way
A start-up needs to prepare for due diligence before investors come in
The company wants to scale internationally without legal blind spots in its asset base
Process
How the IT/IP mandate is built
- 1 First we identify where the real company value sits: brand, code, data, contract architecture or regulatory maturity.
- 2 Then chains of title, product documentation, data-protection processes and critical contracts are checked for weak points.
- 3 Next we decide what has to be secured first so that business growth does not outpace legal certainty again.
- 4 Implementation is aligned with scalability, audit readiness and the company’s next financing or rollout step.

Frequently asked questions
Which IT and intellectual property issues can I discuss?
The practice covers brands and intellectual property, software, SaaS and development agreements, rights in code and data protection. It also includes legal preparation of technology companies for financing and review processes.
Can I seek advice before a product launch or funding round?
Yes. Typical reasons include protecting a product name, reviewing software contracts or clarifying rights in code. Before financing, existing IP, contracts and data protection arrangements can be reviewed and priorities identified.
Which existing documents are useful at the outset?
Useful materials include trademark and IP records, licence, SaaS and development agreements, privacy notices and documentation of data processes. Start with minimal contact details and agree a secure way to exchange documents with the firm. Do not send documents or a case narrative through the public form or plugin.
How are the review scope and fees determined?
The first step is to understand the role of your brand, code, data and contracts in the project. This informs the legal review priorities. The scope, priorities and fee arrangements are discussed for the particular engagement.
Documents
Useful starting documents
Trademark applications, development contracts, licence terms, privacy documents, data-flow descriptions and investor materials help to move quickly.
Contact
