Recent work in this area

Personal data and doctors’ contracts for a telemedicine app

We mapped what data the app collects, wrote the privacy policy and consent wording in three languages, and drafted the template contract for 120 doctors.

The app opened to users on the planned date.

A dairy producer’s trademarks in 5 countries

We brought 64 registrations into one portfolio and sent a cease-and-desist letter to a rival selling in look-alike packaging.

The rival changed its packaging within 30 days.

Questions clients ask

When should a trademark be filed?

Before the packaging is printed and the advertising starts. Registration takes months, but protection counts from the filing date. We search first so that no similar mark stands in the way.

What must a contract with a developer say?

Who owns the code, use of open-source libraries, how the work is accepted and delivery of the source code. Without those clauses the code can legally stay with the developer.

Does our website need a privacy policy?

If the site collects names, phones or e-mails, yes. We look at what is collected and where it is stored, and deliver the documents and consent wording in three languages in 5–7 working days.
