Intellectual property for web projects
Legal support for websites, e-commerce, marketplaces and digital products, connecting legal documents with the actual user journey, data flows and integrations.
For intellectual property for web projects, we review the available documents and relevant facts, explain the applicable procedure and agree the scope of work before the engagement begins.
Meetings are available in Kyiv or online across Ukraine.
How should rights to a website, code and content be documented?
Paying a developer or designer does not always transfer every economic right. Agreements should identify the works, authors, transferred rights, territory, term and ability to modify the result.
Third-party fonts, stock assets, libraries, open-source components and user content must also be checked. Domain, trademark, repositories and administrative access should sit with the appropriate person or company.
Web project assets
- code, design, database and content
- employee and contractor agreements
- domain, hosting, repositories and accounts
- trademarks and third-party licences
Practical outcome
We prepare an asset and document register, identify gaps and draft the required assignment or licence documents for scaling, investment or product transfer.
What happens at the beginning
We first establish the timeline, status of the parties and the lawful objective. We then review documents, deadlines and jurisdiction, explain the available scenarios and only then propose a scope of work.
- review of documents and relevant facts
- assessment of procedural deadlines and material risk
- oral or written legal position
- documents, negotiations or representation as agreed

Deadlines, fees and scope
Does the client own code after payment?
Not always automatically. The agreement, author status, applicable law and rights granted must be reviewed.
Can material found online be reused?
Public availability does not remove copyright. The licence, author and permitted use must be checked.
When may intellectual property for web projects be needed?
Intellectual property for web projects may be relevant where the facts match the circumstances described on this page. The appropriate form of legal assistance is confirmed only after an initial assessment.
What should I prepare for an assessment of intellectual property for web projects?
Send a short timeline, documents showing your status, decisions, agreements, correspondence and the dates of upcoming events. We can begin with the information available if some documents are missing.
Can the initial work be handled online?
Yes. The initial consultation and exchange of document copies can be arranged online. Any travel, personal attendance or representation is agreed separately.
What determines the legal fee?
The fee depends on the volume of materials, urgency, procedural steps and agreed format. The scope and fee are recorded in the engagement agreement.
