Questions clients ask
Who owns code written by a contractor?
Under U.S. law, an independent contractor generally owns what they create unless there is a written assignment. Every company should have IP assignment agreements with its founders, employees and contractors.
What should a SaaS agreement cover?
The service and its availability, data ownership and security, limits of liability, fees, termination rights, and the governing law and forum for disputes.
Do you advise on AI regulation?
Yes. We advise on AI governance, data use and contractual risk, and follow international developments such as the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence.
